Albatro Sandblasted Poker Tobacco Pipe

Decades ago, pipes with albatross bone shanks were made in St. Claude, France, and compositions similar to this were the most frequent recipients of the material. These days, obviously, albatross isn't used, subtly corrugated caseine takes its place, contributing the twin-benefits of being less brittle than the natural material, and not having to answer for incorporating a material from a bird whose 19 of 21 sub species are on the IUCN "red list". The Albatro series is Ser Jacopo's tribute to those 19th and early 20th century pipes, and the European Society Against Cruelty to Acrylics doesn't have nearly the clout that it used to. so enjoy!
