Radice Mini Rind rusticated light brown, straight fancy bulldog model with black methacrylate mouthpiece. Rind rating. The "diabolical" Radice brothers are launching a new line of pipes with a different concept from the classic ones they produce, called Mini. These are small pipes, ideal for those who want a quick smoke, lasting 10 to 20 minutes, such as after a coffee break. Their small size makes them very easy to carry around and they can be conveniently placed in a jacket pocket without being noticed. They are entirely handmade and their performance and quality are the same as the larger ones. For a quick smoke, a normal pipe is usually half-filled, but this rarely satisfies the enthusiast. Now, with Radice Mini, you can enjoy a full smoke without compromise. These pipes can be smooth, sandblasted or rusticated, and what matters is not the finish, but the attention and care with which they are made, which is greater for this type of pipe than for traditional ones. The pipe is very elegant and refined with a flat bottom, which also makes it very practical as it can be placed down without falling over. It has a rustication that is very pleasant to the touch and never pricks the hand. The pipe is small in size and stands out for its more than discreet bowl, which allows for a smoke lasting well over 20 minutes. Its lightness and small size make it ideal for any smoke, although it is at its best when out walking. It is also excellent as a tobacco testing pipe. The Rind series are pipes that do not have a regular grain and have some small defects in the briar. The rustication is done by hand with gouges that carve the wood, which is a very long and laborious process. Paradoxically, these are the pipes that require the most work but are the least expensive. The quality is the same as all other Radice pipes. It is available in hazelnut, brown, black, red and natural colours. This pipe is ideal for the warmer months as it does not heat up the hand as much. Excellent for carrying around due to its lower susceptibility to scratches and marks. A cheerful, youthful and even slightly cheeky pipe that rejuvenates any collection. Radice is one of the Italian artisans offering the best value for money.
