About the Item

Handmade Maestro De Paja bent billiard smoking pipe, a classic piece of Italian craftsmanship. The bowl has a warm reddish-brown briar finish, with visible straight and flame grain, highlighting the natural beauty of the wood. The chamber is moderately deep and shows signs of prior use, giving it a patina that enhances its vintage appeal. The shank bears the “Maestro De Paja” marking along with Fatta a Mano (“handmade” in Italian), a guarantee of artisanal quality. The stem is a black acrylic (or possibly vulcanite) mouthpiece, slightly bent, making it a comfortable pipe for extended use. It carries the signature sun logo (Maestro De Paja emblem) and a brass inlaid dot, both distinctive features of this brand. This shape is a bent billiard, one of the most traditional pipe shapes, with a forward-leaning bowl and curved stem. The slight bend allows for a more relaxed hold and balance when clenched in the mouth. The finish is smooth, with a high polish that reflects Maestro De Paja’s emphasis on aesthetics and refined woodworking. The grain is especially striking, giving a lively appearance to the pipe. Maestro De Paja is an Italian workshop established in the 1970s, quickly gaining international recognition for their elegant, high-quality briar pipes. Their creations are considered luxury pipes, often compared with Castello or Radice, and are particularly appreciated by collectors for their precision carving and emphasis on natural briar beauty.
