Il Duca - Duca n. 18
Impressive in size, refined in proportion, and flawless in execution, this exceptional Il Duca pipe by Massimiliano Rimensi combines classical elegance with a distinctive contemporary character. The clean lines of the tall, slightly forward-leaning bowl flow naturally into the shank, creating a harmonious silhouette with remarkable visual presence.
The smooth finish showcases beautiful briar grain, featuring a rich combination of flame grain and bird's-eye patterns across the entire surface. The synthetic ivory accent introduces a sophisticated visual transition between the warm tones of the briar and the glossy black ebonite stem, creating a refined and balanced contrast. The careful selection of materials and the purity of the design highlight the artistic sensitivity that defines Rimensi's work.
With a height of 63 mm and an impressive 54 mm chamber depth, this handmade Italian pipe is designed for those who appreciate long, satisfying smoking sessions. The stand-up configuration adds everyday practicality, while the prestigious retail price reflects the quality, exclusivity, and craftsmanship of a piece created for discerning collectors and enthusiasts.
