Ascorti Business Pipe of the Year Rusticated Oom Paul Estate Pipe with Repair Band
Item # DE244648Sold Out
Details
Fully bent and finished with the blistered rustication made famous by the Italian pipemakers, this handmade Ascorti Business Oom Paul estate pipe is stamped as a Pipe of the Year. Unfortunately at some point in its history a nickel repair band was used to strengthen the mortise, or just add a touch of bling on request as we can't see any visible evidence of a crack. Either way the added band covers the last number so the best we can confirm is this pipe was made in the first decade of the 21st century. The stem is original and the pipe itself is in excellent condition with a wide and deep chamber. A pipe cleaner will pass to the bottom of the bowl without removing the stem. This palm friendly and sizeable smoker is still a comfortable clencher with an acrylic stem that will never oxidize.
