Lithos Bent Brandy (YY) Tobacco Pipe

Based in Pesaro, Italy, the Rinaldo workshop was founded in 1987 when two brothers, Elio and Guido Rinaldo left their positions at Mastro de Paja to start their own endeavor. Since establishing their workshop, they've never looked back, working alongside each other in harmony to produce around 1,500 pipes annually. Showcasing their bold, signature style, this bent Brandy is one of the latest offerings from the Italian marque.

The bowl is hearty and plump, especially around the heel, lending the pipe a reassuring in-hand presence. A high-kicking shank emerges from the tight-knit transition to join a deeply bent stem, promoting a relaxed posture and making this offering well-suited for leisurely smoking sessions. The stummel wears a dark, ruby-tinged rustication — Rinaldo's signature Lithos finish. This finish offers a wealth of stimulating texture, while a smooth-finished ring of briar at the junction adds a tasteful dose of vibrancy and textural contrast.
