Smooth Oom Paul (CCCC) Tobacco Pipe

Italian artisan Claudio Cavicchi boasts over 50 years of pipe-making experience and possesses an uncanny talent for bringing out the very best from a block of briar. His portfolio is full of evocative interpretations of classic shapes, and he is known by many artisans to have some of the best grain in the world, with even his non-graded pipes rivaling the top-tier pieces of other workshops. Thanks to its particularly handsome grain, this Oom Paul has earned an impressive "CCCC" grade.

This is a thoroughly Italian take on the shape-chart classic, with plenty of visual substance about the bowl. The bowl-centric shaping offers plenty of opportunity to showcase the briar's handsome grain, which wears one of Cavicchi's honey-blonde stains and a smooth, glossy finish. In traditional Oom Paul fashion, a fully bent shank-and-stem arrangement tops off the composition, promoting a comfortable clench in the jaw.
