Smooth Bent Brandy with Spalted Tamarind Tobacco Pipe

Elegantly shaped, nicely grained and featuring a rich melange of complementary masculine colors, I felt an instant affinity with this smooth bent brandy from the moment that I saw it and picking it up amplified the attraction by three-fold. This is one of the finer examples of the new-wave American brandy that you are likely to run across (the only Dane who is working with a somewhat similar approach to the shape is Dr. Peter Heding), combining an elegance, sophistication and charm into one stunning package. Brad is doing some of the most incredible bit work on the planet right now, and this bit is eerily perfect.
