Sandblasted Dublin with Horn (2026) Tobacco Pipe

Davide Iafisco is an Italian pipe maker, however, his unique style extends far beyond the scope of Italian aesthetics, instead revealing a variety of influences. Having studied under master pipe makers such as Adam Davidson, Teddy Knudsen, Chris Asteriou, and Claudio Cavicchi, Iafisco's comprehensive pipe-making education has led him to incorporate a wide variety of design cues into his work, resulting in a portfolio that encompasses everything from traditional Anglo-French creations to unorthodox Freehands. However, all of Iafisco's pipes are linked by crisp line work, balanced proportions, and excellent engineering — all traits embodied by this fetching Dublin.

This Dublin sees a subtly flaring, forward-canted bowl poised at the fore of a short, cylindrical shank that terminates at a mount of genuine horn. A sleek, vulcanite saddle stem with crisply flaring shoulders completes the composition, its jet-black coloring keeping things cohesive with both the dark horn and the inky sandblast dressing the stummel. Said sandblast reveals the briar's vertical grain and rippling growth rings in equal measure, all while offering plenty of tactile appeal to keep the fingertips engaged.
