Lorenzo "VIP" Styled by Lorenzo (Shape 3181) — Italian Estate
A Bold, Thick-Walled Italian Workhorse Featuring a Rugged Plateau Rim, Eye-Catching Horn Extension, and an Ergonomic Fancy Stem
The Architecture & Italian Soul For the smoker who loves a substantial, muscular pipe that feels like a natural extension of the hand, this Lorenzo VIP (Shape 3181) is a classic example of Lombardy pipemaking. Carved with incredibly thick briar walls designed to absorb heat and deliver a cool, effortless smoke, the pipe transitions from a robust, forward-leaning bent bowl into a stout shank. The shank is elevated by a striking, semi-translucent horn accent collar that perfectly bridges the briar to a unique, multi-bulbed vulcanite fancy stem. The crown of the bowl is left in its natural, craggy plateau state, giving the pipe a rugged, organic cap.
True to the brand's philosophy of creating dependable, affordable smokers, the right side of the bowl features a couple of minor factory fills beneath the rich auburn finish. It stands as an authentic, incredibly clean estate pipe with excellent chamber integrity, ready to become the most comfortable, reliable daily worker in your rotation.
Curation Notes:
Condition: Clean, fully refreshed estate condition. Hand-polished to a beautiful sheen. The chamber is entirely clean and sound, the plateau rim is crisp, and the vulcanite stem is deep black with a sharp, faint impression of the classic stylized "L" logo.
Nomenclature: Stamped clearly on the left shank: VIP. The right shank bears STYLED BY LORENZO over the 3181 shape code. The stem features the fancy cursive L stamp near the saddle.
Since everyone has their own preferred methods to clean and sterilise internals of the shank and stem, we have intentionally not done this.
