Crafted by the Pauyan Community, Pucallpa

Hand-carved from solid Shihuahuaco wood, this tobacco pipe is created by artisans from the Pauyan Shipibo community in Pucallpa, Peru.

Shihuahuaco is one of the most resilient hardwoods of the Amazon, valued for its density, durability, and rich golden-brown grain. Its strength ensures longevity, while its natural tones give each piece warmth and depth.

The pipe is sculpted in the form of a hummingbird — “Pino” in Shipibo — a sacred messenger in Amazonian cosmology. The hummingbird symbolizes precision, devotion, and the ability to move lightly between worlds.

Fine carved details trace the wings and body, while geometric engravings around the bowl reflect traditional Amazonian design language.

Each piece is carved and finished by hand. No two are exactly alike — variations in grain, tone, and carving are part of its authenticity.

Care Instructions

• Keep dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

• After use, gently tap out contents and wipe the bowl with a dry cloth.

• If needed, use a pipe cleaner to maintain airflow.

• Occasionally apply a small amount of natural oil (such as coconut or mineral oil) to the exterior wood to maintain its richness and prevent drying.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

As this piece is made from natural hardwood, subtle changes in tone over time are part of its living character.
