Le Nuvole smooth brown pipe, straight trunk model with black ebonite mouthpiece. Rating 4 Nuvole. This pipe is a real gem with its highly original design that makes it very elegant. Over the years, Maurizio Tombari has created his own original models with their own names, and this is the trunk model. The pipe bowl has a wonderful, even flame pattern across the entire bowl. This pipe is very comfortable because it can be set down without falling over. It is medium/large in size and stands out for its large bowl, which guarantees excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness, due to the long seasoning of the briar, makes it ideal for smoking while walking or sitting comfortably in an armchair. The smooth Nuvole pipes are rated from 3 to 8 Nuvole depending on the flame pattern. They are created in hazelnut, brown, red and amber colours. The briar used is extra extra and each piece is carefully selected by hand. Nuvole pipes are the expression of Italian craftsmanship at the highest level, with a care and attention to detail that has few equals. Each "Nuvola" is a true gem, rare and precious, to be cherished with love.
Maurizio Tombari is a renowned pipe maker from the Marche region. For two decades, he learned the art of working with briar in two historic companies in the Italian pipe-making scene: Mastro de Paja and Ser Jacopo. In 1996, he opened his own workshop in Pesaro, where he was born, and named his pipes Le Nuvole. All his production stems from the desire that has driven him from the beginning: to make pipes entirely by hand, following every stage of the process, to create a product with attention to detail, giving it the uniqueness, harmony and lightness of clouds. The models, designed by Maurizio with his wife Stefania (a design enthusiast), take shape from his uncontaminated vision, his desire to create a precious handcrafted object and their shared search for essential and timeless lines: sometimes inspired by revisited ancient memories and, in any case, always oriented towards stylistic innovation. The laborious and lengthy attention he loves to devote to each pipe leads him to limit production to 120-130 pieces per year.
