Amorelli Dandy smooth hazelnut-coloured pipe, classic curved billiard model with variegated beige/black horn mouthpiece. Dandy rating: 3 stars. This pipe is very elegant and refined, with a mouthpiece that is a true work of art. It is made of variegated horn with a white striped methacrylate insert where it is held in the mouth. The aesthetic harmony is of the highest level and the methacrylate has a thin and fine mouthpiece that makes it very comfortable to smoke, which would not have been possible with a mouthpiece made entirely of horn. An extraordinary pipe that embellishes any collection. The pipe is large and stands out for its generous bowl, which provides excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness makes it ideal for smoking while walking or sitting comfortably in an armchair. A pipe with great visual impact that is a pleasure to hold, even when not lit. The Lisce series are pipes that have no defects and have a regular and dense grain as the asterisks increase. This elaborate pipe has a very beautiful grain. A unique piece that highlights the skill of the craftsman.
Salvatore Amorelli was a goldsmith by profession, and this can be seen in the creativity of his designs. Even the most inveterate smokers have to make an effort before using Amorelli pipes, as they usually give the impression of being jewellery rather than smoking implements. His general hallmark, common to all his pipes, is the 18-carat gold bar applied to the stem and mouthpiece, which must be aligned to perfectly join the two elements. Amorelli started producing pipes in 1982 out of passion, always using the best part of the famous Sicilian briar, known for its lightness and porosity. Before Amorelli and his nine collaborators work on the rough cuts, they are seasoned in the Sicilian open air for five years to allow for slow drying. To document the perfection of the wood even inside the bowl, Salvatore Amorelli does not brush on charcoal powder. The quality of the raw material and excellent workmanship guarantee smoking pleasure at a surprisingly affordable price.
