This handcrafted "Epoca Imperatori" pipe from the pre-1995 era is a true testament to Italian craftsmanship, designed for the discerning smoker. Equipped with a filter system, it provides a smoother and more refined smoking experience by reducing moisture and enhancing flavor, a thoughtful detail typical of classic pipes created to elevate every moment of relaxation. The bowl features a traditional billiard shape, with balanced proportions and clean lines that underscore its simplicity and elegance. Made from premium briarwood, the pipe displays beautiful grain patterns in warm honey and deep brown tones, giving it a rich, natural character. The high-gloss finish highlights these wood tones, catching the light beautifully. One of its standout features is the silver band at the junction between the shank and the stem. This elegant touch not only enhances the pipe’s aesthetic but also reinforces the connection for added durability. The jet-black acrylic stem, marked with a small, era-specific detail, is designed to offer a comfortable grip and a smooth draw. Pre-1995 "Epoca Imperatori" pipes are highly sought after by collectors, as they represent a period when Italian pipe-making was at its peak. This piece, with its timeless aesthetics and functional filter system, embodies the charm of a bygone era that continues to captivate pipe enthusiasts today.
