Used Mastro de Paja Smooth Apple 3A "1 Sole" Pipe (1977)

The historical charm of 1977. Produced in Mastro de Paja's very early years, this pipe represents the roots of the glorious artisan school of Pesaro. Collectors know well that broken-in pipes from this era possess an inestimable added value: the briar, having rested, breathed, and worked for almost fifty years, has by now lost all traces of moisture and tannins, guaranteeing smokes of a sweetness and roundness that new wood cannot match.

Bent Billiard Shape: the perfect balance. The pipe features the Bent Billiard shape, a timeless classic. The elegant curve of the shank and mouthpiece offers extraordinary balance, allowing the pipe to be held comfortably between the teeth without any strain on the jaw. The smooth, light finish has been polished over the years by previous owners, developing a warm patina that enhances the dense natural grain of the wood.

The excellence of the "1 Sun" 3A. The superb quality of this block is certified by the 3A stamp and the prestigious "1 Sun ☀︎" grade. At Mastro de Paja, the Sun symbol is the mark of guarantee reserved exclusively for briar characterized by superior grain and aesthetic perfection. As a used (broken-in) pipe, it has been kept in excellent condition and features its original black mouthpiece, ready to provide new and satisfying slow smoking sessions.
