Danish Estates: Karl Erik Ekstravagant Smooth Bent Dublin (B) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

A full-bodied bent Dublin, this Karl Erik offering is a thoroughly Danish take on the classic shape with its curling, sweeping profile. The broad, gently inflated rim is defined by a subtle ridgeline undulating along the top of the bowl, which then tapers elegantly downward. The equally stout shank curls softly upward, with a handsome accent then topped by a downturned saddle stem. The grain here is also quite stellar with streaks of lively flame grain dancing around the robust bowl, while whorls of birdseye drench the rim. Unsmoked. - Angela Robertson
