Paronelli Italian Artisan Briar Pipes: Paronelli are true Artisan pipe making family company making boutique, one off, high grade pipes. Every pipe is hand crafted using choice Sardinian and Calabrian Briar from their own plantation where they control the trees to ensure only the highest grade of root Briar is grown. The root is only harvested between October and March when the plant is at rest so there is no sap in the wood which is the cause of bitter tastes in your pipe. Every piece of Briar is then boiled to purify the wood and remove minerals and tannins. The Briar is then dried and seasoned for a minimum of 70 years! No ........ that isn't a typo, every pipe is crafted from a piece of Briar harvested by the craftsman's grandfather! This ensures a cool and sweet smoke from the first light with little breaking in required. They limit production to around 1000 pipes per year to maintain the highest level of craftsmanship and as not to exhaust their precious stocks. Each pipe is finished naturally using Carnauba wax and no artificial elements.
Paronelli Barnaby's Creazione 2083: Barnaby, the grandson of Mike Adams, has been captivated by smoking pipes from a very young age. Now, at the age of 16, Barnaby has made his first contribution to the company by designing his own line of pipes. These pipes, named "Barnaby's Creazione," are meticulously handcrafted in Italy by Ariberto Paronelli at his artisan workshop in Gavirate, situated on the picturesque shores of Lake Varese in Lombardy. One exquisite example from the Barnaby's Creazione range is this delightful full-bent freehand pipe featuring Paronelli's distinctive contrast briar. This unique briar stands out beautifully on the plateau top of the bowl. It represents a fresh and youthful design tailored for the new generation of pipe enthusiasts, created by a talented young designer of the 21st century. Each Barnaby's Creazione pipe is accompanied by an original Paronelli pouch, adding an extra touch of authenticity and elegance to the presentation.
