Radice: 'Radice' Bent Brandy with Faux Bamboo Tobacco Pipe

After working at both Castello and Caminetto, Luigi Radice founded the Radice workshop along with his son in 1980. Radice has since become one of the most recognizable marques in Italy, offering quality pipes marked by bold Italian neoclassic proportions. This bent Brandy by Radice possesses a voluptuous bowl, its plump waistline nimbly fitting in one's hand. Out back, the shank-and-stem arrangement arcs upward from a low-slung transition, which creates a comfortable smoking posture. The shank is carved to resemble two knuckles of bamboo for a striking, playful disposition, while a tapered, black stem complements the overall form. Dressed in the marque's eponymous finish, the stummel displays lively cross grain across both flanks with handsome specks of birdseye throughout, all beneath a warm, rich stain.
