Founded in 1972 by Giancarlo Guidi, the MdP team was soon joined by Giannino Spadoni and Bruto Sordini with the Guidi and Spadoni at the helm of the company until 1981. Guidi then left with Sordini to found Ser Jacopo, and Sordini would later leave Ser Jacopo to found Don Carlos. Spadoni, on the other hand, stayed at MdP until he also left, after which he founded Fiamma di Re. Today, Mastro de Paja is guided by Alberto Montini, with the workshop being known for both the manufacture of some of Italy’s most admired pipes, and for having launched the careers of some of its most respected artisans. Back in the early decades of Mastro de Paja, to which this one belongs, 3C was the highest grade bracket for the workshop’s smooth finished pipes. Looking at this one, it’s not hard to see how it earned the prestigious 3C + 1 Sun accolade, given its extraordinary flame grain and straight grain patterns. The condition is very good. Some darkening and finish fading on the rim.
