Grade:  Rusticated 1-N
Pipe Code: DC188 Price: CHF 220.00  Convert Shape:  Canone Weight: 42g / 1-15/32 oz Chamber ø: 20mm  --  Chamber Depth: 45mm  --  Wall Thickness:  ->12mm  --  Cleaner Passes? Yes
COMMENT: Design Story:  The word "Canone" in Italian means "Canon", which is a musical term that means according to Webster's New World Dictionary: "a polyphonic composition in which there are exact repetitions of a preceding part in the same or related keys". Bruto selected this very elegant Horn that is of medium size and decided to created a mouthpiece for it that can be turned 180 degrees, maintaining a perfect fit and at the same time offering an alternative look and feel. In this case, he places the DC silver cleft logo on both side of the mouthpiece. Another added touch is the plain silver band, which does indeed complement the design and the two clefts. You can see more clearly this idea when you examine the the first picture on the left and compare it with the on below it.

Grade:  Smooth 1-N
Pipe Code: DC231 Price: CHF 300.00  Convert Shape: Kronos Weight: 39g / 1-3/8 oz Chamber ø: 19.5mm  --  Chamber Depth: 38mm  --  Wall Thickness:  15mm  --  Cleaner Passes? Yes
COMMENT: Design Story:  As you may note, this shape has a lot in common with the Bolero, particularly the thin silver band, the shank insert (though this one is not briar), and above all, the bowl shape. Apparently, Bruto was in a very unusual mood one day, and so he wanted to produced something, well... unusual! As he's always been in love with the elegance of the Bolero, with its magical combination of tradition and innovation, he decided to try and maintain the classic touch of the shape, while adding a new dimension of "craziness", which is the crooked mouthpiece and shank. He decided to name the shape after a New York quartet which is famous for playing classic pieces, combined with modern and folkloric music.. The Kronos, I believe, would make an absolutely great pipe if you smoke pressed tobaccos, due to the relatively small chamber size, which is usually about a Dunhill Group 2-3.

Note that the pipe here is a different take on the Kronos that Bruto came up with recently. The difference lies in the bowl shape, which is very similar to the Barrel.

Grade:  Smooth 1-N
Pipe Code: DC248 Price: CHF 300.00  Convert Shape: Bolero Weight: 51g / 1-13/16 oz Chamber ø: 22mm  --  Chamber Depth: 45mm  --  Wall Thickness:  ->13mm  --  Cleaner Passes? Yes
COMMENT: Design Story:  The original idea behind this model belongs to one of Bruto's friends and devoted customers; it was the very first time Bruto listens to someone! BUT! As always, Bruto used his imagination and at the end, the final shape proved fascinating even to the person who originally had the idea! What makes a Bolero is not only the shape itself, but also the narrow silver band and the elaborate briar insert in the shank.
