Sandblasted Morta Pot (B) Tobacco Pipe

Having entered the world of pipe making at the mere age of 14, Max Rimensi of Il Duca has spent decades mastering his craft. The Italian artisan boasts an eclectic style, his portfolio displaying Danish and German influences, as well as those of his homeland. Elegant and sophisticated, this Pot from Rimensi is certainly emblematic of his signature style.

A handsome iteration of the classic shape, this Pot pairs a characteristically stout bowl to a slim, cylindrical shank and sleek saddle stem — both of which keep the focus on the bowl up front. This bowl-centric shaping is typical of Rimensi, and he accomplishes it with refined elegance, maintaining a sleek disposition throughout the whole piece. A crisp sandblast dresses the stummel, highlighting the morta's unique, mesmerizing grain and offering a wealth of tactile intrigue to keep the fingers occupied.
