Rinaldo: Triade Bent Dublin with Silver (2) (YYY) Tobacco Pipe

Ever since they were teenagers, brothers Elio and Guido Rinaldo have been honing their skills as pipe makers, with the two getting their start working for Mastro de Paja in 1974: the brand's bold, Pesaro-style influence still visible in their work today. In 1987, the two brothers would establish the Rinaldo brand, with each pipe being handcrafted by Elio and Guido themselves. With its sleek lines and sinuous curves, this bent Dublin from Rinaldo exudes an elegant disposition. The bowl stands with a subtle forward cant, with smooth walls rising from the flattened heel and flaring gradually toward the curved rim. The rounded features of the bowl then transition into an upturned square shank, which is adorned with a stylish silver accent band as it reaches to a gracefully bent tapered stem. Rinaldo's Triade finish dresses the stummel in a strawberry-blonde stain, highlighting windswept vertical grain around the bowl.
