Radice Rind Pipe – Straight Pear with Natural Rim (Year 2026)

The Rind line from the artisan workshop Radice, entirely handmade in the Cucciago studio, is distinguished by its deep, tactile rustication, meticulously crafted to ensure excellent heat dissipation and a secure grip. This specific model reinterprets the classic straight Pear shape in a medium size.

• Brand: Radice (Handmade in Cucciago, Italy)

• Model: Straight Pear (Medium size)

• Finish: Rind (Black rusticated body, smooth natural rim)

• Chamber: Medium/large capacity with a slightly conical drilling

• Stem: Standard tapered type in black acrylic

Design Details and Color Contrasts

The aesthetic impact of this piece relies on the striking contrast between the different treatments of the briar:

• The Rim Contrast: While the bowl and shank feature a deep, black-stained rustication, the flat rim (the top of the bowl) is left completely smooth and in a natural finish. This color contrast highlights the clean grain of the underlying briar and elegantly frames the opening of the tobacco chamber.

• Chamber Engineering: The medium-to-large capacity chamber features a slightly conical drilling. This technical choice accommodates the natural progression of the tobacco's burn, ensuring a consistent and balanced flavor delivery throughout the smoke.

Dating: The "46" Stamp

• The Number 46: The Radice workshop uses an annual numerical progression that counts up from the brand's founding year in 1980.

• Recent Production: The 46 stamp uniquely certifies that this pipe belongs to the most recent 2026 production, marking the 46th year of activity for the Lombard workshop.

Every Radice Rind pipe is a unique piece that embodies over forty years of history and evolution in Italian pipemaking technique.
