Description

Luigi Viprati Collection
Luigi Viprati has been making pipes since 1972. In that time he has built a reputation for hand crafting some of the most breathtaking straight grains & sandblasts available anywhere. No one realizes this more than Viprati who has built strong personal relationships with the mills or "segerie" which supply his briar, and he visits them periodically to hand select each block of the extra-extra plateaux briar. Viprati has often accompanied the harvesting crew(s) into the dry hills of Tuscany to insure that he gets the best blocks possible.
"These pipes are characterized by the great attention paid to grain as well as the accurate design. In this collection I focused my creativity on the shape, opening to new solutions, respecting however the traditional parameters. For these pipes I chose a selection of high quality pieces of briar, then seasoned from 7 to 10 years."  Luigi Viprati
