Cesare Barontini Linea Rusticated Bent Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked, 9mm

Description

While not as well known as other Italian pipe brands, Barontini is one of the oldest in the country. Founded in 1890 in Tuscany by Turildo Barontini, the company initially only produced briar, but in 1925, Turildo’s son Bruno shifted the operation to making pipes from this briar. Later, the company was inherited by Cesare Barontini, whose name is most readily associated with Barontini pipe production. Barontini is still operated by Cesare and his wife today.

Taking its name for the Italian word for “Line,” Barontini’s Linea pipes were wire rusticated, an approach to finishing revived in recent years by Stanwell, BriarWorks, L’anatra, and others. Combined with the silver trim and jet-black stain and stem this one has, it makes for a very striking dress pipe.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It is chambered to fit 9mm filters, though if preferred it should fit a non-filter adapter of some variety.
