About This Pipe
Luigi Radice worked in the prestigious Castello workshop before founding the Caminetto brand with Giuseppe "Peppino" Ascorti in the late 1960s. In 1980, Radice began producing his self-titled brand of pipes with his son, Gianluca, and father, Paolo. The brand pays heavy attention to the briar that goes into each pipe, seasoning it for three years before production.
The grain on this Dublin runs the gamut, with cross grain and flame grain highlighted by the sandblasted Silk Cut finish on the flanks of the bowl and handsome birdseye on the rim. The bowl is deep at just under two inches and tapers only slightly from rim to heel to give a silhouette near that of a Billiard. The stem is striking, made from translucent dark acrylic that tapers evenly from the shank.
