Pipa Croci True Smooth Brandy Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Pipa Croci was founded by Italian artisans Paolo Croci and Gianni Croci in 1983, and in the decades that followed, the two would make a name for themselves (quite literally) owing to the high-quality, handmade pipes that emerged from their workshop in Lombardy. As Pipa Croci is a thoroughly artisanal enterprise, each pipe is unique, with some being more traditional, and others being more modern.

This particular Pipa Croci is somewhere between the two, taking the form of a large, full bent brandy, with a slight touch of the post-war freehand styling found in England and Denmark, for example. Nicely grained, the pipe wears a subtle contrast finish to accentuate the natural patterning of the briar underneath.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. A couple of minor scratches on the bowl, though nothing major.
