Incredibly Beautiful Straight Grain Radice.

[TheWhale13]

I recieved this fantastic pipe as a gift, and it is incredibly beautiful. Cumberland stem and impeccable grain. The pics don't do it justice, it's marvelous. Pretty big bowl too, 22x43 mm iirc. Hopefully it smokes as well as it looks too

Gorgeous pipe. Classic shape. Enjoy.

I think Radice is up there with Cavicchi and Castello when it comes to grain.
Course, Radice and Castello put out quite a few more pipes than Cavicchi I think.

Radice are nice, that’s a nice one!

I’ve not noticed to many nice straight grained ones for sale, and as bluegrassbrian pointed out, he has a good point. I like how Radice is small, compared to Castello as a factory. But I will end up getting a Castello one day. LOL

Radice certainly sells for less, I only own one, but seeing this one of yours, makes me want to keep looking for a straight grain one too.

Enjoy!

Indeed a gorgeous pipe and a great example of what Radice has to offer at a great price point (considering).
Congrats sir, she's a beaut.

I didn’t think Radice offered non-acrylic stems. Huh.

That thick rim suits the pipe nicely as well.

Lovely Radice. The Radice's started doing Ebonite and Brindle stems a few years ago. The current production ones carry an E stamp to signify an Ebonite stem. The stems are hand cut and have the same very comfortable profile that all Radice pipes come with. Marzio and Gianluca are making some superb pipes. Luigi is "semi retired". What does that mean? Last time I was there Luigi was in the workshop, but only creating his fantasy pipes. Each one of a kind that only the brilliance and imagination of Luigi could come up with.

Yeah, Clear. Radice's rustication seems a bit lacking compared to their other finishes. Very happy with this one.

Interesting. Thanks for that. I see on Smokingpipes two very fine examples. There aren’t that many Italian pipes in non-acrylic, are there? Pity. This is a fine example.

The rustication on the Oil Cured pipes tends to be better than the non-oil cured.

milk, Radice does some as well Le Nuvole uses Ebonite and Brindle for some stems.

That's a looker for sure!

Same boat here, haven’t coveted a lot of pipes lately but a straight grained Radice is now on my short list.

Good looking pipe.
