Tommaso Spanu Sughero Pipes: Tommaso Spanu are the only pipe manufacturer that produce these unique, striking and quite simply put outstanding pipes. The process is laborious and can only be done by hand but produces something really special that you will cherish for years. I'm sure we don't need to tell you how striking these pipes are and even more so in the flesh. A high grade block of Spanu home grown Briar is shaped and clad with natural Oak Cork before being fitted with a wonderful marbled mouthpiece which compliments the pipe beautifully. This pipe has left the Briar exposed on the rim and the shank for a contrasting effect against the cork. The cork is a robust coating, which is very comfortable to hold but also aids in cooling the pipe.
