USA, 1980-90s

The pipe is from the T. Cristiano’s old stock. It was shaped and drilled approximately in the 1980s, but finished nowadays. Tomas Cristiano was the Italian by origin, his family emigrated to the USA in 1968 and several generations of Cristiano are involved into production and marketing of wonderful briar pipes. Thomas began at the S.M. Frank & Company factory – one of the “briar giants” of America, very quickly he made outstanding career and started own production of the brands T. Cristiano and Calabresi. Thomas’s pipes are in Italian way graceful and expressive and in American way well balanced in terms of a price / quality ratio.

The pipe has no markings. The length is 14.5 cm (5.71″), bowl’s height is 5.4 cm (2.13″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.5 cm (1.77″), internal diameter is 2.0 cm (0.79″). The depth is 4.0 cm (1.57″) and this pipe weights 71 gr. Briar, acrylic stem, no filter. The air hole is not ideally centered in the chamber but it shouldn’t be a big problem taking into account such thick walls.

England, 1950-60s, unsmoked An unsmoked example of the Hardcastle’s craftsmanship from the 1946-1967 period. The company was already adopted under the Dunhill umbrella, but family management of the company retained a certain independence in production and marketing. Therefore the pipe is interesting both as a creature of the legendary old, good and famous English manufactory…

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.
