Baraccini Tuscany

When I first started in the tobacco business, I used to have a regular customer who always smoked Italian-style cheroots in a corn cob pipe because that way he got to smoke the whole thing. He wasn't the only person who did this, and it must be more common than I thought since Baraccini has just released an Italian briar pipe designed for that purpose - the Baraccini Tuscany pipe.

These pipes are unique in a number of ways. Not only can it function as a "cheroot pipe", but it can also be used with pipe tobacco as well. The stem has a metal cap on the end farthest from the button that fits into the bowl, which makes this a modified military bit so it can be disassembled while warm and can easily be stashed away in your pocket. They come in five finishes, including the Italia which features a green bowl and red stem to pay tribute to the colors of the Italian flag. Oh, we almost forgot - they're also very affordable.
