Rossi Mezzanotte 8641 Bent Apple

Marked by a dark stain and rugged rustication, along with sleek black acrylic stems. Rossi's Mezzanotte series appropriately translates to "Midnight" in Italian, offering an elegant, all-black color palette and inviting texture in hand. The line offers a wide variety of rotating Rossi shapes, and they're perfect for those looking for a reliable, everyday pipe. Shown here in the rarely seen 8641 Bent Apple shape, engineered to accommodate a 6mm filter.

Pipe Nook Notes
I'm a fan of Author shapes. While this isn't an Author, it does remind me of of the chunky proportions of a Savinelli 320, albeit with a steeper bend and a saddle bit, making it easier to clench. In addition, it has a large bowl capacity, although not quite as much as an Author. I have no idea why Savinelli and Rossi don't use this shape more...it's phenomenal!
