Mastro de Paja Pipe, Used, Vintage (1980s/1990s) - Grade 0B - Silver Sun - Semi-Rusticized

A dive into Pesaro's golden age: Mastro de Paja Vintage with Silver Sole.

This Mastro de Paja is not just a used pipe, but a piece of history from the Pesaro school, most likely dating back to the 1980s or 1990s . What sets it apart from modern pieces is the detail most sought after by collectors: the famous sun set in silver on the mouthpiece (and not simply stamped or engraved). This detail is the distinctive signature of pipes produced during the brand's heyday, when craftsmanship was at its peak.

Model Features:

• Grade 0B (Semi-Rusticated): The pipe features a high-quality Semi-Rusticated finish (Grade 0B). The surface is hand-carved with a deep, textured "rustication," which expertly alternates with smooth areas (often the bowl rim or shank) to showcase the briar's natural grain. A highly elegant tactile and visual contrast.

• The Silver Sun: As confirmed by the metal insert on the mouthpiece, this pipe belongs to Mastro de Paja's "Golden Era." This detail enhances its value and vintage appeal.

• Handmade: Handcrafted in Pesaro, it embodies the dynamic style and perfect proportions that have made the brand famous worldwide.

Condition: Since this is an Estate (Used/Break-in) piece from approximately 30-40 years ago, the briar has enjoyed a long seasoning process that today guarantees an exceptionally smooth and dry smoke, a quality that only "lived-in" pipes can offer. The rustication also makes it extremely robust and resistant to the ravages of time.

Why choose it: Because the Mastro de Paja with the "Silver Sun" have a different soul. It's the ideal choice for the collector seeking '80s/'90s authenticity or for the smoker seeking an indestructible travel companion with great historical charm.
