Big Ben Giant 176 Tan Nature Top Pipe – Cesare Borgia Special Edition

The Big Ben Giant Series and the Tribute to Cesare Borgia

The Dutch manufacturer Big Ben enriches its famous Giant line with a model of profound historical value. This special edition bears the stamp dedicated to Cesare Borgia (1475–1507), known as the Duke of Valentinois. Son of Pope Alexander VI, Cesare Borgia was one of the most fascinating, ambitious, and controversial figures of the Italian Renaissance; a military commander and politician of exceptional acumen, he inspired Niccolò Machiavelli's famous treatise "The Prince". Big Ben celebrates this powerful historical personality with an imposing, solid pipe of distinctly aristocratic character.

Technical Specifications and Design Details

The Big Ben Giant 176 reinterprets one of the shapes most loved by purists—the Canadian—stretching its proportions to an extra-long length that slenders the silhouette without compromising its perfect balance.

• Architecture and Shape: The model is configured as a classic Canadian. The medium-sized bowl connects to an exceptionally long oval shank, the hallmark of this shape, which promotes a natural cooling of the smoke along its path.

• Finish and Chromatic Contrasts (Tan Nature Top): The body of the pipe boasts a smooth finish in warm tones. The defining element of contrast is the flat rim, deliberately left in its lighter natural color compared to the staining of the rest of the stummel.

• Shank and Accent Details: The long oval shank meets the stem via a refined combination of materials: a gold-toned metal band paired with a briar inlay, creating a transition point that is beautifully coherent with the warm tones of the pipe.

• Internal Engineering and Chamber: The medium-capacity chamber features a slightly conical drilling. This internal geometry supports the natural progression of the tobacco's combustion. The shank is filterless.

• Stem: The model is equipped with a short black acrylic stem, whose glossy finish is not subject to oxidation over time and guarantees absolute color stability.
