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 Rind rustication, giving a craggy touch to the stummel and allowing the smoker to find plenty of flecks of mahogany-colored briar amid the dark stain. The bowl is stoutly shaped for an Apple and topped with a smooth rim, then backed by a lightly tapering shank. The stem is fashioned from swirling, translucent gray-and-white acrylic, giving off an almost ghostly appearance.
