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 Tanshell 01: The Tanshell is a less common pipe finish that takes advantage of the denser Sardinian Briar. The harder wood results in a more even and shallower depth to the grain when sandblasted. The Sardinian Briar is lighter and more tan in colour and results in a smoother yet distinct texture for a truly beautiful piece. The 01 has perfect rings and finish around the entire bowl and is a true testament to the experienced sandblasting that the Paronelli craftsmen produce. The pipe is flat bottomed so will stand un aided and is very well balanced. The pipe is finished with a cumberland marbled stem inlaid with Paronellis signature briar dot.
