Smooth Apple (CCCC) Tobacco Pipe

A plump and stocky Apple, this design offers a muscular rendition of the classic shape. Typically, when Claudio Cavicchi fashions the straight Apple, he pairs it with a gently tapered stem. Here, though, the choice for a saddle mouthpiece further accentuates the stummel's robust shaping — an apt design choice by the Italian artisan. Though hearty in hand, this piece remains comfortable in length, making for a convenient pipe, all dressed in Claudio's iconic blonde finish. It's no wonder that he utilized this dressing either, as this four "C" graded piece displays incredible flame grain all around the bowl, with birdseye present on the rim and especially prevalent on the underside of the briar.
