Claudio Cavicchi CCCCC Full Bent

The Claudio Cavicchi CCCCC Full Bent represents the pinnacle of the master from Bologna’s standard line. Its smooth finish reveals an almost perfect straight grain that wraps around the entire bowl, with an impeccable bird’s-eye at the base, a hallmark reserved for pieces that reach this grade. The Full Bent shape adds both elegance and smoking comfort, striking a balance between classic proportions and robust presence. The hand-cut black acrylic stem fits seamlessly to the shank, ensuring a smooth transition and an effortless, dry, and complete draw.

Claudio Cavicchi began making pipes in 1974, and since then he has established himself as one of the living legends of briar. His grading system—from C to Diamond—focuses entirely on the perfection of the grain, with CCCCC pieces being extremely rare, reserved only for blocks of briar with an almost flawless straight grain. A multiple world slow-smoking champion in the 1980s and 1990s, Cavicchi applies that deep knowledge to the design of each pipe, guaranteeing beauty and performance in equal measure.
