Sandblasted Squat Tomato with Boxwood (Sergey Dyomin) Tobacco Pipe

Though indeed of low and very broad proportions, this squat Tomato keeps just the right amount of buoyancy to its profile, thanks to a subtle bit of lift in both the transition and the sweep of the heel. That sort of thing is to be expected, though, as PS Studio pipes follow the design philosophy of head honcho Vladimir Grechukhin, who specializes in a clean, modern approach to line and form. Stout-walled and wide-cheeked, this pipe works very well whether gripped or cradled, and as you would expect, has no difficulty remaining upright when set down.
