Lithos Acorn (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 Acorn by Rinaldo is dressed in an ochre-hued rustication, giving the stummel a rugged texture, while the rim and shank end showcase a smooth finish for vivid contrast. The jet-black acrylic stem features some ornate flourishes, which serve as an eye-catching accent along this piece's streamlined profile. Furthermore, the bowl features the shape's traditional sharp heel, which flares upwards to a crisp, high-set ridgeline, hinting at the muscular Rhodesian shape.
