No. 845
 Melos
Fiammata 3-Note!
The top grade of all.

This is an incredibly rare pipe - a Fiammata 3-Note Melos, the only one ever made!
Briar of the quality required for the 3-Note Fiammata grade is so hard to find that only a handful of pipes of this quality can be made each year - sometimes none at all.  It is therefore a bonus to find this top-grade Melos, a unique shape designed and developed by Bruto Sordini.

I am confident that you will never see another Melos as good as this one.

Quarter-bent Two-Note "Fiammata".

Weight g/  ounces
Tobacco Chamber:
" x 0." dia (mm x mm dia)

A beautifully balanced, close-grained, yet very lightweight pipe, featuring a densely packed 360º birdseye rim and strikingly well defined grain all around the bowl.

The tobacco chamber measures 9/16" (22mm) diameter and more than 1½" (41mm) deep

One-Note "Fiammata" Volcano
Weight 75g / 1.6 ounces
Tobacco Chamber:
1.8" x 0.9" dia (44mm x 22mm dia)

A remarkable example of the pipe-makers art.  Note how the direction of the grain is echoed by the shape of the bowl - this is a perfect example of the shape of a pipe is dictated by "following the grain".  The sides display unbroken straightgrain, whilst the base is 100% birdseye.  This pipe is perfectly balanced.  It will sit - and gently rock - on its curved base.  Well worthy of pride of place in any high-grade collection.
