Description from the seller
THE PIPES have never been used 2 +: this is a Raffaello, a historical Italian brand highly respected in the world of slow smoking.
Specifically, the inscriptions on the briar indicate:
•
- The Raffaello pipes were produced by Viprati, (often the full inscription is "Raffaello by Viprati"), noted for artisanal quality and the selection of briar.
• Ruby Series: Indicates the type of finish. The "Rubino" is characterized precisely by that dark red color, similar to a Bordeaux wine, paired with a surface treatment that brings out the wood grain.
From the previous photo, we can say it is a Billiard, the most iconic and balanced shape. It is a pipe that offers a fresh and steady smoke, ideal for both beginners and experienced smokers.
• 1 Brand: This is a pipe produced by Medico, a well-known historic American brand in the field of inexpensive and collectible pipes.
• Model: The inscription "BENT" suggests that this is a curved (bent) model, while "BRIAR" confirms that the pipe head is made of briar (Erica arborea), the most prized material for pipe construction.
• On the black mouthpiece there is a stylized "B", typically associated with certain brands or sub-lines. There is also a thin light ring between the shank and the mouthpiece, a decorative element common in many vintage models.
