Great Pierluigi Fatta A Mano (142) Partially Sandblast Straight Brandy Estate Pipe – 9mm Filter

This exceptional Pierluigi Fatta A Mano (Handmade) straight Brandy is a stunning testament to classic Italian pipemaking. Founded in Rome in the early 1970s by master carver Aldo Pierluigi, the brand earned a stellar reputation for completely hand-crafting pipes from high-quality briar blocks, completely avoiding automated templates or pre-formed molds.

The highly collectible designation "Per i miei amici" (Italian for "For my friends") denotes special editions traditionally reserved for the family's closest friends and most valued patrons. Today, with the artisan's modern work produced under the "Mastro Beraldi" name, these original, vintage Pierluigi pieces are highly sought after by collectors worldwide.

This specific piece (Shape 142) features a striking partially sandblasted finish, offering a beautiful tactile contrast between the rugged texture of the bowl and the smooth, warm briar elements.

A standout feature is the gorgeous natural briar shank extension that elegantly elongates the silhouette, seamlessly transitioning into the stem. Engineered for a cool, dry smoke, this pipe accommodates a 9mm filter.

Condition: The tobacco chamber is slightly over-reamed and out of center. Otherwise, the pipe is in very good estate condition, with the rim and stem showing minimal signs of wear. Please review the high-resolution photos to appreciate the finer details of the grain and finish.
