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 Apple from Radice wears their Silk Cut sandblast, closely following the growth rings on the left flank of the stummel for a well-defined texture. The bowl is rather straightforward in its shaping, tapering as it reaches upward from the waist to the rim. The stummel is stained dark enough to match the black acrylic of the tapered stem, giving this pipe a sleek appearance almost as though it is composed of a single material.
