Ascorti
The Ascorti story began in the 1970s when Peppino Ascorti and Luigi Radice left the historic Castello workshop to establish Caminetto. Following years of success and innovation, Peppino founded Ascorti, creating a family-run workshop dedicated to producing handcrafted pipes that celebrate both artistic expression and exceptional smoking performance.
Today, Ascorti remains a family tradition, with generations of pipe makers continuing the commitment to quality that has defined the brand for decades. Every Ascorti pipe is crafted in Italy using carefully selected briar and shaped by skilled artisans who understand that a great pipe must be both beautiful and functional.
Ascorti pipes are known for:
- Handcrafted Italian craftsmanship
- Exceptional briar selection
- Distinctive shaping and finishes
- Rich sandblasted and smooth presentations
- Comfortable hand feel and balance
- Unique character in every pipe
What makes Ascorti special is its embrace of individuality. Rather than mass-producing identical shapes, Ascorti allows the grain and character of the briar to influence the final design. The result is a collection of pipes that feel alive with personality, each carrying subtle differences that make it uniquely its own.
