Molina inherited not only the premises but also the vintage machinery and traditional production methods used by Rossi — and today uses hand-selected briar from central and southern Italy to produce workhorse pipes with an excellent price-to-quality ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eStriato series\u003c\/strong\u003e is Molina's broad catalog of classic medium-sized shapes in sandblast, smooth, and bicolor finishes. Offered here in the \u003cstrong\u003eA626\u003c\/strong\u003e — the largest of the Striato Sandblasts — a rounded Bent Apple with a gentle bend that brings the bit back toward the jaw, a deep 43 mm chamber, and a narrow bore that burns unhurried for a long evening sit. The Apple is one of the oldest and most companionable shapes in pipedom; this one is given a bold contrast sandblast that raises the briar's grain into craggy relief, with the darker tone settling into the valleys to throw the grain into sharp focus. Finished with a Cumberland-toned acrylic saddle stem and brass shank band — warm honey contrast against the dark blast. A substantial sit-down pipe for the smoker who likes some weight in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.84 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.24 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowl Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.02 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamber Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.68 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamber Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.80 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bent Apple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contrast Sandblast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra-grade Briar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cumberland Acrylic Saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass Shank Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (unfiltered open draw)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Molina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50588479225954,"sku":"998-0296","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1734\/3871\/files\/1_2bbb0961-eb4c-423a-9427-9815d33c52ea.png?v=1790964970","url":"https:\/\/www.tinderbox.com\/products\/molina-striato-sandblasted-a626-pipe","provider":"Tinder Box","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
