Rind Pot (2026) Tobacco Pipe

One of the most recognizable marques in Italy today, the Radice workshop was founded in 1980 when Luigi Radice decided to embark on a new pipe-making journey alongside his two sons, Gianluca and Marzio. Previously, Luigi made pipes for Castello, and before that, Caminetto. Under his new namesake brand, he offered high-quality pipes carved in the unmistakable Italian neoclassical style. He experimented with innovative new designs, new rusticating and carving styles, and oil curing. This Pot showcases several of the aforementioned techniques, which are still used by the marque to this day.

This offering's bowl is ever so slightly on the tall side for a Pot, proportionally speaking, yet overall, it retains the stout, squat stature characteristic of the form. The cylindrical walls of the bowl rise from a muscular, angular heel to the flat, crisp rim, while the shank-and-stem arrangement out back maintains an arrow-straight posture as it takes on a swift taper. Dressed in Radice's Rind rustication, this offering showcases a wealth of texture for the eyes and fingertips to admire.
