Ascorti Pipe

The Ascorti name is immediately associated with "Pipa del Baffo," or the Caminetto brand founded by Giuseppe Ascorti and Gigi Radice. Following the latter's exit, the "Pipa del Baffo" has continued to remain an Ascorti family affair, first with grandfather Peppino, then with sons Roberto and Pierangelo who relaunched the Caminetto brand in the 1980s, and now with Tommaso, now in his third generation.

In half a century of history, much of the production has remained the same: from the machinery built by grandfather Peppino to the production processes of the Caminetto pipes, but also the 90 steps, almost all of which are carried out by hand, with a particular expertise in controlling the seasoning of the briars, which Tommaso personally chooses and controls, buying them from trusted sawyers.

Ascorti: the history of Italian slow smoking

The Ascorti brand is a historic Italian brand born from the mind of Roberto Ascorti, son of the legendary "Peppino" Ascorti who participated in the creation and growth of the legendary Caminetto. After moving away from the family business, Roberto Ascorti decides that he wants to create his own brand and put into practice his ideas and his vision of a world that he had learned to know since he was a child. Thus he began to create tobacco pipes following his own vision and being appreciated both in Italy and abroad, on the American, Japanese, Chinese and European markets. The brand then began to transform following market innovations, reaching the third generation, that of Tommaso Ascorti.
In half a century of history, much of the production has remained identical: from the machinery built by grandfather Peppino to the production processes of the Caminetto tobacco pipes, but also the 90 steps, almost all carried out by hand, with particular expertise in controlling the curing of the briars which Tommaso chooses and checks personally, purchasing them from trusted sawyers.
