Mastro Grandolfo Handmade in the stunning baroque city of Lecce in Italy. Mastro learned to build smoking pipes from his grandfather. After the Second World War Mastro's grandfather had opened up a Tobacconist and started to build his own pipes and lighters initially using bullet shells left over from the War. At 6 years old Mastro visited his grandfather's workshop and was left fascinated by the sights and smells of the process. His continued passion for pipe making shows in his creations.
Mastro Grandolfo 0025 These stunning pipes are real head-turners. This Lovat has been masterfully created from high grade, well aged, strawberry root briar, which is a root burl from a strawberry tree. Strawberry briar has a wider grain that standard briar which lends itself more to rustication. The Rustic bowl and shank have been accented with marbled white rings and a stubby pearlescent green tapered stem.
