Product Overview
Marco Bacigalupi, born in 1952 in Genoa, Italy, is a self-taught pipe maker who began crafting pipes full-time in 2012 after a career in design. His pipes are known for:
• Material: Made from first-rate Tuscan briar, prized for its grain and durability.
• Craftsmanship: Handmade in his workshop in Gavi, Piedmont, Italy, with mouthpieces crafted from high-quality German ebonite.
• Design: Combines classic and non-classic shapes, with innovations like a central bore at the bottom of the bowl for complete tobacco combustion and a double air chamber for cooler smoke.
• Production: Limited to 100–150 pipes annually, each numbered progressively by year.
This pipe was the 77th produced in 2015
