Brebbia Serie X 624 Smooth Bulldog Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked, 9mm

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.

Brebbia’s Serie X is defined by two things: traditional shapes and a warm, very Italian light brown finish. In contrast to some of Brebbia’s more elaborate designs, the Serie X makes up for the modesty of the former by way of the latter, as it puts the briar on center stage. This classic bent bulldog, for example, has a nicely fiery patterning running from the bowl’s base to its bead-lines, transforming into bird’s-eye as they cross that threshold.

This pipe is completely unsmoked. It is chambered to allow for the use of 9mm filters if desired.
