Mastro Geppetto: Pipe of the Year 2022 Sabbiato Natural 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 seen here in the workshop's natural Sabbiato sandblast, highlighting the briar's natural grain patterns.
