Thomas Cristiano Smooth Bent Brandy Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Description

While originally born in Italy, Thomas Cristiano emigrated to the United States at the age of 16, quickly finding work in the S.M. Frank factory in Long Island. S.M. Frank is a historic American pipe-making company, and at this time Cristiano worked on Frank-owned makes such as Kaywoodie. Later, Cristiano departed to make his own pipes under the Thomas Cristiano name.

This particular Thomas Cristiano is a highly traditional, full bent brandy, with a wine red stain dressed over plenty of enjoyable bird’s-eye grain patterns, and a tasteful brass and silver trim.

The pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating to help ease the break-in process.
