This soft and sinuous tobacco pipe shape Vulcano made of very high quality briar with wonderful bird's eyes and gold wire was made by Francesco Ganci.
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 quoted 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 overlooking the sea, he thinks and creates his new pipes... true works of art.
He sculpts the shapes of tobacco pipes with a knife, by hand, using exclusively Italian briar with the 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.
In the volcano pipe the exaltation of the briar is maximum.
The lines of the volcano-shaped pipe divide the partridge eyes in the base from the flame of the briar of the chimney.
Before producing and marketing a pipe, Francesco Ganci, with the experience of a luthier, tastes the softness and flexibility of the briar, then as a great passionate smoker he tries the holes, the shape, the handling, the lines, the angles, the dimensions, the balance of the tobacco pipe.
Exceptional pipes are born, perfect technically and qualitatively, very light and elegant pipes.
Wonderful pipes considered among the best in the world but to be used every day.
Here we propose a pipe that is a symbol of Ganci's production, the tobacco pipe called volcano because of its conical shape.
For the volcano pipe Francesco took inspiration from the slender lines of the nature of Mount Fuji.
A free hands pipe completely hand-crafted with patience, with a cross cut following and enhancing the briar.
The F.Ganci volcano-shaped pipe is well balanced, rounded but slender, light and snappy, it transmits dynamism!
This tobacco pipe has a natural glossy finish that enhances the quality of the briar.
The briar design, like a painting, envelops the pipe and the short asymmetrical stem.
F. Ganci has left a contrasting mouthpiece in marbled cumberland, very worked and with curved lines.
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 F. Ganci is very light and smokes very well.
Each pipe by Francesco Ganci is a unique piece and the photos you see portray this exclusive pipe, the same, once purchased, will be removed from the catalog.
