About the maker:
"Il Ceppo" means burl, referring to the root-ball of the briar shrub. Franco Rossi bought the brand in 1995, having formerly worked with Bruto Sordini of Don Carlos. He and his sister Nadia make over 1000 pipes a year, half of which are generally exported to the US. Most shapes are based on classical forms. Rossi combines tasteful inventiveness with excellent engineering and finishing, including expressive blasts.
