Brebbia Serie 1960 Nera Sabbiata 602 Sandblasted Author Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Description

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.

While its origins reside in the old school designs of the Anglo-French tradition, the author is a shape that has thoroughly been captured by Italian pipe making, to the point where it’s hard to think of a notable example without ending up at the latter. The “602” is one of Brebbia’s many renditions of the shape, and one of the most compact and pocket-friendly shapes in the workshop’s catalog. Here we see it in the context of the “Serie 1960” line, whose reserved finishes and classic shapes pay homage to the timeless briars of the mid-century.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It comes with its original box.
