Elio
and Guido Rinaldo began their work with briar in 1974 at the very
young ages of 16 and 14 respectively. At this time they were employed
by a well known pipe factory, Mastro de Paja. In the beginning
they were involved with the design, modeling and finishing. After
years of study, hard work, and hands on experience, Elio and Guido
mastered their art. This knowledge combined with their sensitivity
allowed them to answer the burning desire they had to express
themselves in their own way. Their dream to create a pipe with
their own mark became a reality. In 1987, the two brothers founded
"Rinaldo Pipes" with the intention of creating fine
handmade (fatta a mano) pipes with highly personalized lines fitted
with silver and gold treatments that distinguish their exquisite
pipes from the vast panorama of pipes. Their production is very
limited since Elio and Guido are the sole ones to make the Rinaldo
pipe. This has been their wish from the very first day the factory
was started. Because of this loyalty to solely crafting their
pipes, the smoker is guaranteed that each phase of the work is
being maintained by skilled and expert hands. Each Rinaldo pipe
is made form the very best Mediterranean briar and Elio and Guido
select each briar block for its compact texture and regular veining.
The acrylic mouthpieces are perfectly balanced and studied for
optimal dental grip. This attention to detail results in a mouthpiece
that has a pleasant and "easy hold" and is truly a "work
of art". The Rinaldo pipe is currently offered in the following
finishes: Lithos(Rustic) - Sahara(Sandblast) - Triade(Smooth).
The Rinaldo pipes are divided into three lines: Briar Line(All
Briar) - Silver Line(Silver Ornaments) - Gold Line(Gold Ornaments).
There are five grade levels: Y, YY, YYY, YYYY, and Fiammata(Straight
Grain). All Shapes are available in the regular size bowl and
the "Titania" which is a bowl of greater dimensions.
Each pipe is offered for the pleasure of beholding its classical
and liberal forms. Elio and Guido's passion for crafting the finest
pipes available is evident in each piece. Elio and Guido are currently
producing approximately 1,500 pipes per year. I've passed a pipe
cleaner through every one I've sold and each time it goes through
with ease. I like that the airways have been generously drilled,
which ensures an easy draw and a pipe that stays lit effortlessly.
The fit and finish is amazing. Having smoked them myself, I can
attest to how well they smoke ... cool and dry with a very fast
break in.
