Brown Sandblasted Bent Dublin Tobacco Pipe

One of Italy's finest pipe makers, Claudio Cavicchi has carved pipes for over 40 years and is still going strong. Cavicchi crafts a wide variety of shapes, and each one showcases spectacular grain patterns dressed in his signature smooth and sandblasted finishes. A hallmark of Italian pipe making, and Cavicchi's work in particular, is the thoughtful use of briar grain throughout each pipe's design.

This bent Dublin takes a comparatively restrained approach within Cavicchi's portfolio, featuring a flared bowl set at the fore of an upswept shank and a well-bent saddle stem. The bowl's rim is softly inflated, lending its upper profile a rounded quality reminiscent of the Acorn shape. This gentle curvature creates an appealing contrast with the more pronounced contours of the bowl's lower portion. As expected from the Italian workshop, the briar offers an impressive display of grain, with stacked growth rings encircling the bowl and a lovely concentration of birdseye across the rim.
