Caminetto Estates

 The history of the Caminetto pipe brand is intricate and characteristically Italian, particularly for pipe manufacturers from the Cantu region. As is often the case, familiar names emerge here.

The origins of Caminetto trace back to the 1960s when Guiseppe Ascorti and Luigi Radice were working at Castello. Together with Gianni Davoli, they founded their own brand and achieved significant success with their pipes in both the USA and Europe. However, after many years and personal disagreements, the first era of Caminetto came to an end in 1986.

In 2013, Caminetto experienced a revival when the founder’s grandson, Tommaso Ascorti, brought the brand back to life.

Here you will find estate pipes from Caminetto of older vintages, which have been carefully restored to the best of our ability and knowledge.

This offers you the chance to own wonderful, handcrafted pieces at a more than reasonable price, especially when considering the cost of new models.

Of course, we also carry new Caminetto pipes in our range, as well as pipes from Ascorti.
