Sandblasted Calabash (Floodlight Special) Tobacco Pipe

Here's some Musico trivia for you: When the senior Musico, Giorgio, was managing the famous Carmignani tobacco shop in Rome, he discovered Fritz Becker, recognizing his talent and obtaining an exclusive contract for the store to give the Beckers their start and making their pipes famous. Giorgio still works in the Musico shop while his son Massimo is the pipe maker now. The family's familiarity with all manner of pipes is evident in the designs that emerge from the shop, like this irresistible Calabash. Fanning mixed grain populates the stummel beneath a low-profile, warm sandblast. Light and balanced for effortless clenching, it's a practical and beautiful piece that should keep its owner coming back for many years.
