Tommaso Spanu Briar F1 Bent Freehand Fishtail Pipe (ART688)

Artisan Italian Pipes are made completely by hand in Sardinia since 1979. Only the best Sardinian “Erica Scoparia” Briar is used. the Briar is grown, harvested, milled and conditioned entirely by Tom Spanu, the only Pipe-maker in the world to do this.

Only around 1,000 Pipes are produced annually and each pipe is a unique creation – no two are the same!

It is generally recognized that in order to have a superior smoking pipe, the Briar from which it is made must be at least fifty years old. It is only with age that the briar root becomes tight enough, dense enough to
withstand both the heat of lighted tobacco and the juices produced during smoking for very long periods of time. Whereas the pores of less-aged briar tend to clog from absorption in a relatively short time
the well-aged briar absorbs much less in a given smoke and so should last for decades if well-treated by the smoker.

This is the quality and standard of Briar Pipe supplied by Tommaso Spanu, made exclusively from Sardinian Briar.
