About This 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 striking Lovat showcases several of the aforementioned techniques, which are still used by the marque to this day.
This Lovat boasts a tall, almost Brandy-like bowl with a pronounced taper toward the rim. Behind the bowl, a wide transition introduces a thick shank, which is met by a succinct saddle stem fashioned from jet-black acrylic. Dressed in Radice's craggy Rind finish, this pipe offers a satisfying texture for the eyes and fingertips to admire.
