About This 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 Cherrywood is one of the latest offerings from the Italian marque.
We haven't seen many Cherrywoods from Rinaldo over the last several years, making this striking piece all the more special. It demonstrates the marque's neoclassic Italian tendencies, with a bold, barrel-shaped bowl at the fore of a long, lithe shank-and-stem arrangement with a gracile curvature. Dressed in a dark, ruby-tinged iteration of Rinaldo's craggy Lithos rustication — save for the smooth rim — the stummel offers a wealth of stimulating texture for the fingers to appreciate. With its tortoiseshell patterning, the acrylic stem adds another eye-catching element to this striking piece.
