Paronelli Italian Artisan Briar Pipes: Paronelli are true Artisan pipe making family company making boutique, one off, high grade pipes. Every pipe is hand crafted using choice Sardinian and Calabrian Briar from their own plantation where they control the trees to ensure only the highest grade of root Briar is grown. The root is only harvested between October and March when the plant is at rest so there is no sap in the wood which is the cause of bitter tastes in your pipe. Every piece of Briar is then boiled to purify the wood and remove minerals and tannins. The Briar is then dried and seasoned for a minimum of 70 years! No …….. that isn’t a typo, every pipe is crafted from a piece of Briar harvested by the craftsman’s grandfather! This ensures a cool and sweet smoke from the first light with little breaking in required. They limit production to around 1000 pipes per year to maintain the highest level of craftsmanship and as not to exhaust their precious stocks. Each pipe is finished naturally using Carnauba wax and no artificial elements.

Paronelli Reverse The Reverse is the first pipe created by Paronelli using a "reverse calabash" system Reverse Calabash is the same idea as a traditional calabash, There is a larger second chamber that allows the smoke to cool before entering your mouth. The “reverse” part comes in because the smoke cools inside the shank rather than beneath the bowl. The entire shank has been drilled out to 18mm wide and 29mm deep so is a fairly hefty chamber for such a small pipe. Featuring an exclusive patent of a double hole from the bore to the expansion chamber allows smoking of the full charge of tobacco.
