Italy

We hardly can remember any other country with such a variety of magic tasty music, wine and pipes like Italy. Some Italian makers show an absolutely incredible performance (Rossi did make 50 000 pipes a day during some periods) and many famous brands from Ireland and Denmark place production orders in Italy last years.

Some other Italian brands prefer quality to quantity: we have already represented Castello products and now there’s an incomparable Mastro de Paja creature. The pipe from the upper range (“Elite collection”), made entirely by hand, bears the one of the higest grades (3B) and marked additionally with the one sun (un sole) sign. Moreover, it’s still unsmoked and comes with the original box. A great chance to obtain this Italian miracle!

​The pipe markings are “Mastro de Paja \ FATTA A MANO”, “HADN MADE \ IN ITALY”, “(3B)” and one sun (sole) sign. The length is 15.2 cm (5.98″), bowl’s height is 5.6 cm (2.2″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.7 cm (1.85″), internal diameter is 2.0 cm (0.79″). The depth is 4.2 cm (1.65″) and this pipe weights 60 gr. Briar, acrylic stem, original 9 mm adapter.
