Rind Pure Pot (2026) Tobacco 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 Pot from Radice's Pure line wears their Rind rustication, giving a craggy touch to the unstained briar of the stummel. The bowl is generously wide and fills the hand easily, with a sloped fore that gives the heel a generous point. The walls of the bowl are quite muscular, as is the rusticated shank that backs up the bowl to an unaccented, tapered stem of black acrylic. The lack of stain as dictated by the Pure line gets the smoker as close to the briar as possible, and the rustication provides an excellent touch of organicism.
