Silk Cut Hawkbill Faux Bamboo Twinbore Oilcured
About the maker:
Luigi Radice got his start making pipes for Carlo Scotti in Cantu, Italy at the esteemed Castello pipe factory. He left in 1969 to co-found Caminetto. After ten years with Caminetto he formed his own company. Luigi's sons, Marzio and Gianluca, continue producing these great smoking pipes today. They are known for their twin-bore stems, their much-copied "candle wax drip" carved bowls and shanks carved to look like bamboo.

Description:
The sandblasted grain of the bowl shows neat rings all around, and compliments the faux bamboo carving in the shank. The signature hawkbill shape makes this pipe weightless in the mouth. This pipe has been oil-cured to provide a sweet broken in smoke from the very first bowlful. The stem has the twin-bore system which provides a very cool dry smoke with no tongue bite. The pipe comes with a hefty leather sleeve.
