About This Pipe
La Bruyere pipes are carved by Thomas Manzoni, a seasoned artisan who spent nearly two decades honing his craft at the Chapuis-Comoy factory in Saint-Claude, France — the genesis of modern pipe making. The weight of Saint-Claude's history is not lost on Manzoni, as he draws endless inspiration from both the pipe-making institutions and artisans around him. Having trained under skilled craftsmen Pierre Morel and Bruno Nuttens, Manzoni has cultivated a refined style that is sure to delight those drawn to updated takes on Anglo-French designs.
Manzoni read and rendered the grain of this Lovat beautifully, orienting the briar's tight tendrils of flame grain to coincide perfectly with the walls of the classic Billiard bowl, while birdseye decorates the rim and heel. These handsome grain patterns are emphasized by a smooth, chestnut finish, which pairs seamlessly with the rich burgundy tones of the cumberland stem. In terms of shaping, this pipe is sleek and elegant, and perfect for any fan of classic silhouettes.
