COMMENT: I'm happy and proud to be able to offer you this shape, which is one of Cavicchi's most recent and exciting additions to his shape arsenal. Though it is not my shape at all, I'm completely in love with it, and if I smoked anything other than perfectly straight pipes, I'm sure I would have added one in this shape to my personal collection. There's no doubt in my mind that the best way to define the shape is by using the term "Freehand"; however, I do have an idea. You see, when you look at the bowl shape, with the mouthpiece pointing towards the floor, I bet you anything you will see a... "Golf club"! Please look at the first picture on the left, and tilt your head to the left side, and see if you agree! In addition, the pipe comes in an extra large size, with a bowl that proudly stands at 81mm (3.19 inches) high! Notice the two elegant grooves that Claudio added to the end of the shank, and also the slender tapered mouthpiece with its Army Mount. Another feature that is important to many is the fact that, thanks to the flat base of the bowl, the pipe can sit still on a flat surface without support. The grain is another story most definitely worth referring to. It's very elegant blend of Crossgrain and massive Bird's Eye. Every time I look at this pipe, in that shape and size and with that grain, I simply cannot even begin to understand how it can be offered in this entry grade and for this low price!
This is a magnificent pipe, and I would recommend it as highly as any other pipe I have ever recommended. |
