Il Cerchio: Sandblasted Cutty with Bamboo

[Mike N]

Picked up this Il Cerchio at the Smoking Pipes table in Columbus. I am slowly transitioning back to ebonite stems. Got that vintage large tin of Rattray’s at the show, too.

Love this! I didn't know about Angelo's work until recently but it's a dream of mine to own one of his pipes.

Thanks. It’s tough to find a nice Italian pipe with an ebonite mouthpiece and 4mm button. I love my Castello‘s but those acrylic stems with the 8mm button are just not comfortable for a clencher like me.

The American artisans are killing it with their ebonite/vulcanite soft stems.

Yeah it's pretty bad that Castello puts out buttons that thick...
