Romeo - n. 167
With its compact profile and warm, luminous finish, this Bent Dublin handmade briar pipe by Fabrizio Romeo is a perfect example of balance between formal sobriety and refined materiality. The soft curve of the stem flows elegantly into a well-proportioned, flared bowl where every line feels precise and intentional.
The briar belongs to the select Group SG, reserved for pieces featuring particularly fine grain and flawless surfaces. Here, tight, regular flame grain runs vertically, brought to life by a transparent polish that highlights honey, copper, and light gold tones. A finely cut groove around the rim adds a subtle graphic accent without overpowering the form.
The shank and stem are joined by a brushed metal band, providing a smooth transition to the glossy black, gently bent stem. With a 20 mm internal diameter, the bowl is ideal for controlled, focused smokes. As always, Fabrizio Romeo demonstrates his technical skill and aesthetic finesse, crafting a pipe that expresses both restraint and elegance.
A superb handmade Bent Dublin pipe for those who appreciate premium briar, classic lines, and the distinctive touch of Italian craftsmanship.
