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 Vogue Artisan Pipe: This piece from Paronelli is an instant eye catcher. Well it certainly caught our eye when we were making this years selection and was the first in the basket before any other retailers could snap it up. A very intricate carving flows vertically around the bowl with a light stain on the raised areas and contrasting dark red almost black stain for the rest. The pipe is finished with a striking marbled stem with colours that blend with the rest of the pipe. It has a nice wide mouthpiece for added comfort. A sure fire conversation piece for any gathering. You'll be lucky to get to smoking it with everyone drooling over it and wanting a hold. It's a style we haven't seen before and hope we see some more coming from the Italian masters.
