Item History & Price

This is a Lovely Refurbished Lightly Smoked Stefano Exclusive 9mm Filter Selected Briar 1/2 Bent Brandy Spigot made by Stefano Santambrogio, almost exclusively for Export to the German Market. Stefano Santambrogio is the grandson of the founder of the same name who founded Santambrogio Pipes in 1912 a...fter working for both Fratelli Lana (Lorenzo) and Rossi. In it's 1930/40 heyday the company employed 130 people and had a capacity of 100, 000 pipes a month. The briar of this Brandy Spigot 9mm Filter pipe is a dark honey colour, with beautiful soft Straight Flame and Birdseye graining, the slightly concave bowl rim crisp and un-marked. The spigot 9mm Filter stem has the Stefano Crown logo, a Fishtail with the lightest of tooth chatter. The bowl needed no reaming but was cleansed anyway, the stem was fully sanitised to make the pipe ready to smoke as soon as you receive it, before the whole pipe was lightly polished and waxed to give the Beautiful Finish you can see in the photos. The pipe draws and will smoke perfectly, it sits so comfortably in the hand, balanced and tactile.
Thanks for looking and as usual I will combine postage if you buy more than one of my items from this auction. European tracked postage is £9.85 and for the rest of the world is £11.85......I have had to increase charges following Royal Mail price increases in April but will still combine any number of pipes for the price of one.
