Used Italian Pipe Ascorti Business KS (Dublin) Rusticated

Lombard Craftsmanship: Ascorti Business KS

The Ascorti workshop in Cucciago is synonymous with sturdy pipes, mechanically impeccable and offering exceptional smoking performance. This impressive handcrafted model ("Hand Made in Italy") belongs to the historic Business line, a range designed specifically for everyday smokers who need spacious, durable pipes capable of dissipating heat optimally.

Dublin Shape and "Rocky" Finish

The pipe features a spacious and elegant straight Dublin shape in KS (King Size) format. Its distinctive conical bowl, which widens gracefully towards the top, ensures long, satisfying smokes. The defining feature of this model is the deep, intricate dark rustication covering the entire bowl and shank: besides giving it a rugged, tactile appeal, this finish increases the wood's surface area exposed to the air, keeping the bowl cool.

A smooth, contrasting panel has been expertly crafted on the underside of the shank, bearing the crisp stamps "Ascorti", "BUSINESS", "KS" and "HAND MADE IN ITALY". The sturdy, straight black methacrylate stem has a classic push-fit tenon for an unrestricted, filter-free smoke.

Condition and Rating by Mr Pierpaolo Spinozzi

As evidenced by the inside of the bowl and the tenon, this Ascorti is a well-used pipe that has been smoked regularly. However, the renowned robustness of the Business line has preserved it in excellent cosmetic and structural condition, with no evident signs of wear to the rustication or stem. Mr Pierpaolo Spinozzi has awarded it 5 stars (*****).
