Sahara Bent Apple (YYY) Tobacco Pipe

Elio and Guidi Rinaldo began crafting pipes as teenagers for Mastro de Paja, before going into business for themselves. Elio and Guidi are the only carvers at Rinaldo, and they produce pipes of stellar quality at an astonishing rate. This bent Apple by Rinaldo is a hearty briar possessed of a plump bowl at the fore, its curvaceous walls and pronounced heel filling one's palm. Out back, the bent shank-and-stem arrangement carries on this muscilarity, traveling all the way into the domed base of the amber-hued acrylic stem. Additionally, the stummel is dressed in a craggy, dark-hued rustication, which is complemented by the smooth finish on the rim and the swirling tones of the acrylic tapered stem.
