Italy

A product of cooperation of three Italians: Guiseppe Ascorti, Luigi Radice and Gianni Davoli. The brand was produced in 1970’s and was very popular on both sides of Atlantic ocean. The name Caminetto comes from “a small chimney” (camino in Italian). Very unusual shape, amazing blast. We can only remark a bit higher drilling of the air passage.

The pipe markings are “Caminetto \ BUSINESS \ 181 \ KS”, “HAND MADE IN ITALY \ CUCCIAGO (Co)”. The length is 15.3 cm, bowl’s hight is 5.5 cm. External dimensions of the bowl are 4.3 cm, internal diameter is 2.0 cm. The depth is 4.6 cm and this pipe weights 75 gr. Briar, acrylic stem, no filter. The chamber has been fixed with a break-in coat. The stem was slightly fixed near the button – it’s visible under a bright light.

England The pipe has no stamping, but the patented DC (“double comfort”) stem, the unique shape, the almost ideal straight grain say undoubtedly it’s one of the higher grade Charatan’s (at least Distinction or Selected). The pipe was obtained together with a fantastic Colin Fromm pipe, very probably the pipe could be carved by this…

USA, 1940-50s This is one of the “old style” Kaywoodie Hand Made pipes produced between 1946 and 1955, possibly even earlier in the 1940s. All the details on the pipe confirm that it is an ancient and valuable historical rarity: the 4-hole stinger is stamped “Drinkless” and a patent number (a little hard to read…

Denmark Nobody knows where his investigations can bring.

There is described a basically new (at least according to inventor’s believe) construction of a smoking pipe: it has to be made as a…
