Chris Morgan Arbutus pipes

California is anything but a whistling hot spot. In this country, the always sunny west coast between San Francisco and L.A. is more associated with stars and starlets or with always youthful digital entrepreneurs in skater outfits. And Hollywood has long since followed the American zeitgeist and has banned most smokers from the silver screen. But California is also a center of pleasure and taste, it's no coincidence that so many fashion companies, art galleries and - last but not least - world-class wineries are based here. Chris Morgan, who describes himself as a passionate pipemaker, also hails from the Golden State. American free spirit meets Italian tradition. Because the pipes are made in Europe, in the former Rossi factory. In this case from the so-called "strawberry wood", which is related to the briar. Their extraordinary grain makes them unique and also a jewel in any collection. And they are unusually light! After all, not everyone owns a pipe from the States.
