This pipe was made in 2002 and at least up until that time, and perhaps forever, it was the best straight grained pipe that Bruto Sordini had made. Bruto attested to that in an article of “L’Angolo della Pippa” (The Pipe Corner), which is signed, I believe, by Bruto…the signature at the bottom of the page is hard to read, which certainly accords with Bruto’s wild personality, bless his long plagued wife, Rosaria. The photo on the page is of this pipe, so we know how proud Bruto was of this piece.
The article will accompany the pipe to its new home.
It’s a Grp. 7 in size, at least, and it is unsmoked. The stem material is acrylic, the draw is wide-open and the pipe easily passes the cleaner test. New.
6.5” long, bowl 2.3” tall. Weight: 3.5 oz., 98 grams.
