Smooth Brown Bent Apple Sitter Tobacco Pipe

Simone Gaudenzi's brand, Valbruna, bridges the gap between the Italian artisan's two greatest passions: pipes and the sea. Before embarking on his solo career, Gaudenzi worked under the mentorship of Giancarlo Guidi at the famed Ser Jacopo workshop. During this time, he developed a keen eye for design and a deep appreciation for the whimsical Pesaro style. Now the founder of his own brand, his affinity for pipes, the sea, and the Pesaro carving style is evident in every pipe he produces. Moreover, his grading system is heavily centered around aquatic themes; even "Valbruna" is a reference to the legendary underwater city of the same name.

This bent Apple Sitter from Valbruna comines supple curves and graceful, flowing lines with a practical, flat, sure-sitting heel. The bowl is affably plump and houses a modest chamber, and the deeply bent saddle stem promotes a comfortable clench. Dressed in a smooth mahogany finish, the stummel showcases a wealth of handsome grain. A stable Sitter and a convenient jaw hanger, this pipe's versatility makes it a useful addition to any collection.
