Description from the seller

The Cavicchi pipe examined features the typical engravings of the craftsman ('Cavicchi C.', 'HAND MADE'), a glossy finish in reddish-brown, and a saddle-shaped ebonite mouthpiece, which is characteristic of higher-level artisanal productions.
The production is attributable to the period 2000–2015, years during which Cavicchi used this combination of mouthpiece, mouthpiece, and timbres.
Technical Description
A handcrafted artisanal pipe, characterized by:
Perfectly aged veneer, with dense and uniform grain patterns.
Regular camera, with no cracks or abnormal charring.
Slightly curved ebonite mouthpiece, with a perfectly shaped hole.
Harmonious aesthetic line in the proportions of the head–canna–bocchino.
Clear and legible engravings: guarantee of authenticity
A particularly elegant pipe, typical of Cavicchi's craftsmanship in the selection of the purest woods.

Market Evaluation (Italy – 2025)
Value for used, perfectly seasoned specimens: € 160 – € 210.
Value for collectors (excellent condition): €220 – €260
The pipe falls within the high-end range of the evaluation, thanks to its excellent overall condition and the quality of the briar.
