Brebbia Sabbiata 1001 Large Sandblasted Billiard (Estate)
$90.00
About this pipe:
Named for the company’s home township, Brebbia was founded in 1953 by Enea Buzzi, an alum of Savinelli’s manufacturing division. Still in operation 70 years later, Brebbia is one of Italy’s oldest extant pipe companies, with production still being undertaken using simple lathes and traditional methods of hand finishing. More recently, Brebbia has also collaborated with master artisan carvers from across to design some of its pipes, such as Denmark’s Rainer Barbi, Germany’s Otto Pollner and Holger Frickert, Italy’s Fausto Fincato, and Japan’s Tsuge.
The “1001” is one of the largest billiards in Brebbia’s portfolio, and is to my knowledge only dwarfed by the “710” from the make’s Jumbo series. This one is dressed in Brebbia’s craggy house sandblasted finish, which gels nicely with its bold figure.
The condition is good. Some inner rim charring and finish fading.
