Patina Smooth Bent Dublin (99) Tobacco Pipe

While I have never found larger pipes any more intimidating than their smaller brethren (any more than I find a magnum of wine more alarming than the standard .750ml, or a Fosters lager any harder to hold than a Coors), I do understand that many gents prefer the length of smoke, and qualities that can be enhanced within certain types of tobacco, that can be delivered in the more diminutive vessel. While this pipe isn't tiny, by any stretch of the imagination, the bowl would come in roughly as a Group 4-5, rather than Randy's typical ODA to "Oh-My-God!". Both the shape and the grain are really total head-turners. Bravo, Randy!
