Rind Poker (2025) 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 Rind Poker showcases several of the aforementioned techniques, which are still used by the marque to this day.

Radice pipes don't often come in diminutive proportions, so this compact Poker is somewhat of a rarity from the Italian marque. Measuring just a hair under 4.5 inches long and weighing well under 1.5 oz, this pipe offers an easy clench and is well-suited for a quick smoke on the go. Conversely, its flat, even heel also makes it a reliable Sitter, offering the best of both worlds. Dressed in an auburn variation of Radice's Rind rustication, the stummel boasts plenty of tactile appeal and exudes an air of rustic charm.
