Cesare Barontini Vulcano 01 Sandblasted Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked, 9mm

Description

While not as well known as other Italian pipe brands, Barontini is one of the oldest in the country. Founded in 1890 in Tuscany by Turildo Barontini, the company initially only produced briar, but in 1925, Turildo’s son Bruno shifted the operation to making pipes from this briar. Later, the company was inherited by Cesare Barontini, whose name is most readily associated with Barontini pipe production. Barontini is still operated by Cesare and his wife today.

Taking its name from the Italian for “volcano,” Cesare Barontini’s Vulcano line combines traditional shapes with a much more modern color palette, one evocative of magma erupting from the earth. It’s bold, but fitting for an instrument such as a pipe, and indeed for a pipe from one of the few European nations that has such a historic (and indeed contemporary) connection to volcanic activity.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It also comes with its original box. The pipe is chambered to allow for the use of 9mm filters if desired.
