Rind Dublin (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 curing methods — many of which are still utilized by the marque to this day.

This Radice Dublin is a sleek, architectural take on the classic shape, with the bowl's walls maintaining a rigid sense of line as they slant outward from the narrow heel to the flat, smooth rim. A low-set, almost 90-degree transition introduces a trim shank followed by a lengthy, tapered stem, both of which keep the focus on the bowl up front, and preserve the composition's overall sleek appearance. Radice's craggy Rind rustication tempers some of this sleekness, adding just the right amount of ruggedness to make for an incredibly satisfying presence in hand.
