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.
Radice's Silk Cut sandblast finishes this Apple, the bowl of which is classically shaped and bowl minimally colored to provide a very natural touch and appearance. The shank is somewhat brief as it reaches back to the tapered stem of black acrylic, ultimately giving this piece a relatively compact length of just under five inches. It's light, too, weighing in at one and one-fifth ounces for easy support by the jaw or fingers.
