Damini - n. 17
A perfect balance of form, function, and style: the Massimo Damini pipe in Pot shape with stand-up capability stands as a true example of handmade Italian pipes, crafted in the Renaissance village of Sabbioneta by Massimo Damini, a passionate pipe smoker and artisan. In his workshop, each pipe is born from carefully selected briar, seasoned for years and shaped with the precision that defines Damini’s design philosophy, inspired by classic Scandinavian forms and reinterpreted with a personal touch.
The Pot design, beautifully balanced in its stand-up execution, highlights clean lines and showcases a richly expressive briar grain, with a straight, substantial profile that invites quiet contemplation. The ebonite stem, handcrafted and seamlessly integrated into the shank, provides a pleasing tactile feel and comfortable grip during the smoke, while the 29 grams of weight make this pipe feather-light yet perfectly poised.
Damini’s choice of premium materials and meticulous attention to detail — no fillers used, with respect for the natural wood texture — reflect his approach to creating quality pipes where aesthetic beauty and smoking pleasure converge. It’s a pipe that speaks of craftsmanship, experience, and refined taste: ideal for lovers of Italian Pot pipes, those seeking an elegant and relaxed smoke, and anyone who appreciates pieces made by hand with dedication and style.
