La Biota Morta Bent Dublin Handmade Pipe, New

Description

A graduate of Italy’s prestigious Academia della Pipa, Michele Sottocasa has been making pipes for over a decade under the la Biota name. Prior to becoming a pipe-maker, Sottocasa trained and worked as a designer and art director, and la Biota pipes continue this drive towards a distinct aesthetic vision. The name, ‘la Biota,’ originally derives from ecology, and symbolizes the deep connection between humans and nature – a connection well represented by the hand-made tobacco pipe.

This pipe from la Biota is a sturdy Dublin shape, carved from millennia-old bog oak, otherwise known as morta. To this, Sottocasa has added a ring of Fordite and a hand-cut blue ebonite stem. The pipe is a little fuller in the hand than many of Sottocasa’s pipes, which makes it very comfortable to sit and sip at.
