Francesco Ganci Hawkbill shaped pipe natural briar finish light

Francesco Ganci is a young craftsman from Genoa who produces high-quality tobacco pipes.

He began carving pipes relatively late but today he is one of the most popular emerging Italian manufacturers of briar pipes and at the height of success.

Francesco Ganci has had important teachers including his friend Mimmo Romeo.

The reason for his success is due to his ability to masterfully handle tools, chisels and knives, to his pragmatism, to his imagination and to his continuous search for quality.

In complete solitude, drawing inspiration from nature or the surrounding world, in the luthier's workshop, he thinks and creates his new pipes... true works of art.

He carves the shapes with a knife, by hand, using exclusively Italian briar with its right seasoning provided by Mimmo Romeo.

The minimum seasoning of the briar is 5 years and takes place at controlled temperature and humidity.

Starting from the technical part, to which he gives great importance to have a consistently pleasant smoke, Francesco Ganci creates pipes respecting the grain and design of the briar.

Before producing and marketing a pipe, Francesco Ganci, with the experience of the luthier, tastes the softness and flexibility of the briar, then as a great passionate smoker he tests the shape, the handling, the lines, the angles, the dimensions, the balance of the tobacco pipe.

The result is exceptional pipes, perfect technically and qualitatively, very light and elegant pipes.

Wonderful pipes considered among the best in the world but to be used every day.

Tobacco pipes with classic shapes characterized by Francesco Ganci's personal genuine vision of elegance.

Here we propose a pipe that is a symbol of Ganci's production, the tobacco pipe called Hawkbill in light natural briar.

For the Hawkbill pipe, Francesco took inspiration from the rounded lines of the hawk, from nature.

A free hands pipe completely hand-crafted with patience, following and enhancing the grain of the briar.

The Hawkbill pipe is well balanced, rounded but slender, light and lively, it transmits dynamism!

The Ganci Hawkbill pipe has a natural finish that enhances the lines of the pipe and the quality of the briar.

The design of the briar grain, like a painting, envelops the pipe and the short solid stem.

Ganci has left a contrasting mouthpiece in cumberland, very worked and with curved lines and a ring in galalith.

This makes the pipe very elegant, a sculpture pipe, a masterpiece, suitable to be shown off at social events.

But the free hands pipe by Ganci is very light and smokes very well.

Thanks to the thickness of the walls, a dry and fresh smoke.

Each Ganci pipe is a unique piece and the photos you see portray this exclusive pipe, the same, once purchased, will be removed from the catalog.
