Rossi: Piccolo (8415) Tobacco Pipe

The "8409" and "8412" designs on Rossi's shape chart represent that Italian brand's standard straight Dublin variants. They share an iconically Italian style, with robust proportions and heart bowls, while remaining reserved enough to satisfy the timeless, archetypal aspects of the classic form. The "8415," however, trades that muscularity for an incredibly svelte and slender form, accentuated by an elongated, tapered stem. It's a lightweight take on the Dublin shape — perfect for Rossi's Piccolo series.

The Italian tradition of pipe making has never lacked in regards to substantial pipes, and the shape charts of Rossi and Savinelli are considerably saturated with KS- and EX-sized briars that don't disappoint when it comes to palm-filling presence. However, not everyone desires hearty, larger forms, so Rossi presents the Piccolo line — a series devoted to petite Savinelli shapes now offered by Rossi. Dressed in the same rugged rustication as the Vittoria finish, the Piccolo series rounds out Rossi's portfolio, ensuring that Rossi pipes cater to all preferences.

Note: While all of our other pipes are photographed individually, these are not, and you may expect some reasonable cosmetic variation between the example we've photographed and the pipe you've received.
