When I think about Italian pipes, I, like I am sure many others out there, think about Savinelli. But of course there are many other Italian pipe makers and through the years I've own quite a few. However, in the last few years as I've failingly tried to cull my pipe collection, my Italians are now represented by what I think are representatives of some of the finest Italian pipe families out there.
Starting with the top picture at 12 o'clock and going clockwise, I have Radice, Gepetto, Kristiansen, Castello, and my latest, Il Ceppo.
One thing is for certain: Italian pipe design and pipe making are still very much a vibrant and living art.
So, what Italians are you smoking?
