Notes
|
|
This is an example of Mastro
de Paja’s original carving style as it was made in the early years of this
famous brand when M° Guidi imprinted his personal innovative taste,
which was much appreciated by the late, lamented Italian President, Sandro
Pertini.
It was carved with
great focus on the center of the briar, which exactly corresponds to the
bottom of the bowl, allowing a regular vertical design to the briar fibres.
This pipe may interest
both advanced Mastro’s Collectors as well as enthusiasts of giant pipes.
The tobacco chamber, in which only British mixtures were smoked, has very
thick walls and a large capacity and is very well suited for a long and
pleasant smoke.
