This is a massive Mastro de Paja 3A grade pipe. Billiard/Pot shape, hand made in italy. These Mastro were really great pipes, believe me!
Excellent condition, smoked few times! Length: 14 cm (5,51 inch). Height: 5 cm (1,96 inch). Internal diameter: 2,2 cm (0,86 inch). Please, look at my other pipes for sale.
I love revitalizing these pieces of wood, bringing to light the flaming of the roots, the bird's eye buried by dark patinas, soiled with tar. I do not just clean the pipes, I restore them. As far as possible, I try to eliminate every little sign of wear, both from the chamber and in the stem; I remove the burns from the walls, I clean the smoking chamber from the accumulated cake, I remove any marks on the briar, and make the stem shine again.Over the years I have developed personal techniques and have constructed my own work tools. I only use natural products for my pipes, like carnauba wax for polishing and food alcohol for the sterilization of stems. It's a job I do carefully, looking for the best result without being too "aggressive" on the pipe; in essence, the pipe, at the end of all the procedures, become the. Best it can be compared to its initial state, without distorting its essence.
My old pipes have a new life, but they do not seem new, they are simply reborn and ready to smoke!
