Caminetto Handmade Pipes

The background of the pipe brand Caminetto is intertwined, and as is so often the case, one comes across the same names in Italian pipe manufacturers. Especially in Cantu.

Caminetto goes back to Guiseppe Ascorti and Luigi Radice, who were employed by Castello in the 1960s. Together with Gianni Davoli they went into business for themselves, and their pipes became very successful in the USA and Europe. After long personal quarrels and a lot of back and forth, it was over in the 80s.

But the brand was revived in 2013 by the founder's grandson, Tommaso Ascorti.

Caminetto pipes are characterized by excellent workmanship and the very best wood quality. Great importance is attached to perfect smokability. The trademark is the "Baffo" - the mustache of the founder.

The design of the pipes is based on classics, but with typical Italian freedom in interpretation. Caminetto pipes are certainly not super cheap "bargains", but they are definitely worth the money. Anyone who has smoked a Caminetto will confirm this.

All caminettos are unique pieces, handmade.
