Description
Gigi pipes occupy an interesting position in the history of Italian pipe-making. The story begins with the founding of Sociedade Rovera, a pipe-making company in Varese, Italy, by the Rovera family. As members of the Rovera family left to start their own ventures, the dynasty associated with the name would be split into several companies; Angelo Rovera created Ardor with his son Dorelio; Federico created Fe.Ro; Massimilliano created Mario Rovera; Fiorenzo created Gardenesa; and Giorgio created Giorgio Rovera, along with partners Angelo and Adele Bianchi. In 1964, Luigi Crugnola, nephew of the Bianchis, took over the Giorgio Rovera make and changed its name to his own – Gigi.
This particular Gigi is a reserved, elegant rendition of the classic billiard shape, though with a slightly ovaline shank and stem. It features a good mixture of bird’s-eye and cross-grain briar patterns, and a simple, light brown stain.
This Gigi is also completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating.
