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.
This bent Apple from Radice is finished with their Silk Cut sandblast and stained a warm crimson. The finish provides a rich, smooth touch to the bowl, which is traditionally shaped to taper lightly from the waist above a round, prominent heel. The shank enjoys the same crimson-and-black color scheme as the bowl and backs up to a tapered, minutely bent stem of black acrylic. Vibrant in color and finished beautifully, this is a piece sure to please Apple fans.
