Pirocco Handcrafted Pipe – Shape 55 Interpretation in Rusticated Briar

This pipe is signed by Pirocco and crafted entirely by hand in Casalbordino, Abruzzo. This territory, nestled on a hill between the Osento and Sinello rivers just a short distance from the Adriatic Sea, thrives on a dual soul: the historic and agricultural inland, deeply tied to the land and its winemaking and olive-growing traditions, and the vibrant coastal marina area. It is precisely from this union of earthly solidity and sea breeze that everyday objects and collector's pieces with a rigorous, deeply personal character are born.

The Design: Canturino Tradition Meets Portability

This model stands out as a successful interpretation of the Shape 55, an iconic silhouette that has historically defined the pipe design school of the Cantù region (Canturino).

• Dimensions and Configuration: The pipe features compact, pocket-friendly dimensions—a design choice that, combined with the thick chamber walls, ensures a cool smoke and excellent heat tolerance. It features an Army Mounted setup, a technical specification that enhances its durability and practicality, making it ideal for carrying and enjoying outdoors.

• The Bocote Ferrule: The junction on the shank is embellished with a ferrule made of precious exotic Bocote wood, which serves as a striking chromatic and aesthetic transition between the pipe body and the stem.

• The Tobacco Chamber: The chamber features a regular cylindrical drilling that becomes slightly conical toward the bottom.

• Original Rustication: The surface of the bowl is finished with a deep, uniform rustication, providing a secure tactile grip and favoring heat dissipation. In sharp, geometric contrast, the rim of the bowl is left completely smooth, highlighting the density and quality of the underlying briar.

• Acrylic Stem: The color contrast is completed by a light marbled acrylic stem. In addition to its aesthetic impact, which brightens the pipe's silhouette, acrylic guarantees total durability over time and ease of maintenance.
