Mastro Geppetto: Pipe of the Year 2022 Rusticato with Silver Tobacco Pipe

Each year, Mastro Geppetto releases a Pipe of the Year shape presented in a variety of the Italian workshop's distinctive finishes and adorned with a specially engraved silver band displaying the likeness of its Pinocchio logo. The pipe also comes with its own hard case for travel and protection.

This hand-crafted 2022 selection takes the form of a handsome bent Billiard, its tall, deep-chambered and gently tapered bowl offering a substantial, full-bodied disposition. A deep bend is followed by an arcing, equally muscular shank that's adorned with the generous, gleaming silver accent. It's topped then by a stylish acrylic stem downturned for comfort and adorned with an expansion dome at its base for further flourishing detail. It's wearing the dark, craggy and ruby-tinged Rusticato finish, with a smooth band at the shank end for contrast.
