Italian artisan pipe Caminetto Event 2014 Red | Smooth Pot
Handmade pipe Caminetto Event 2014 Red
This handmade pipe was crafted in Italy in the workshop of Caminetto, a landmark brand in Italian pipemaking tradition also famously known as "La Pipa del Baffo" (The Moustache Pipe). It belongs to the Event series and is graded as Event 2014 Red, a collection that merges heritage with a contemporary reinterpretation of archive Caminetto shapes.
The Event series, launched in 2013 by Tommaso "Tommy" Ascorti—grandson of founder Giuseppe "Peppino" Ascorti—takes inspiration from historical models preserved in the workshop's archives. Each year, a past shape is selected and reinterpreted through updated proportions and details while preserving its original identity. The year engraved on the pipe indicates the specific archive project chosen for that edition.
A signature element of the Event collection is the use of copper, which serves as an aesthetic hallmark. In this model, the copper ring (oliva) set between the shank and the stem features the engravings "Event" and "2014" on opposite sides, creating a refined contrast with the briar and highlighting its specific release year.
The pipe presents a straight Pot shape of medium size, characterized by classic proportions and clean lines. The smooth finish enhances the grain of the briar, bestowing a understated, timeless appearance. The Pot shape—with its generous bowl and straight shank—belongs to traditional pipe geometry, here given a balanced reading through the distinctive accents of the Event series.
The black acrylic stem features a tapered profile and a fishtail lip, designed for a comfortable bite. Adorning the top of the stem is the unmistakable stylized dual-moustache logo, the signature hallmark of Caminetto production that pays homage to the legacy of "La Pipa del Baffo".
The medium-capacity chamber is crafted with a standard cylindrical drilling, a classic technical solution for an even, balanced smoke.
The pipe comes complete with a matching acrylic pipe tamper featuring a briar base—a coordinated accessory that mirrors the materials and design language of the pipe.
Overall, the Caminetto Event 2014 Red accurately embodies the core concept of the Event series: a historically rooted shape revisited without losing its soul, enriched by details that bridge classic artisan heritage with contemporary design sensibility. A timeless, classic Pot in which shape, materials, and history coexist in perfect harmony.
