Paronelli Freehand Churchwarden Natural Fiinsh Briar Pipe with an Additional Short Stem (CW-A)

Extremely Limited Stock - The Pipe Pictured Is The One You Will Receive

Also known as a Reader or Reading Pipe, this is one of the very earliest pipe shapes and still remains popular.

The story goes that Churchwarden pipes were named after night watchmen, from the time when church doors were never locked. As smoking was not allowed inside church buildings, these pipes were fitted with exceptionally long stems so the pipe could hang out of an open window and the smoke would waft away into the great outdoors.

The overall length of the fishtail mouthpiece ensures a pleasant cool smoke particularly suitable for an evening's relaxation.

The Paronelli brand gathers within itself a family passion that was born in 1945 with Jean Marie Alberto Paronelli, who designed and created fine Italian briar pipes. The ideas and canons of the founder have been handed down from generation to generation. Ariberto Paronelli, who now leads the company, carries on the work started by the founder with passion and dedication, designing and creating classic models with a modern twist. Ariberto also works on commission. For the Paronelli family the pipe is a matter of the heart.
