Rossi: Siracusa (8315) Tobacco Pipe

With the Siracusa series, Rossi offers Italian design in a warm, attractive style of finish, paired to comfortable-to-clench black vulcanite stems and understated brass accents. The "8315" is essentially a classic Prince shape, but rendered in somewhat fuller proportions, as is fitting to the Italian style, while still maintaining a graceful balance. Particularly nice grain on this example, with fair flame around the flanks and plenty of birdseye at the underside.
