Danish Estates: Jess Chonowitsch Smooth Bent Brandy Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-001-35248
Alongside Jørn Micke, Bo Nordh, and Lars Ivarsson, Jess Chonowitsch was one of Sixteen Ivarsson's star pupils. Training under a pipe legend, it's no wonder Chonowitsch is now considered an icon himself, not just in Denmark but also across the world. Chonowitsch mostly follows the Danish school of design when crafting his pipes, as seen in this bent Brandy. Sweeping from button to bowl, the elegant silhouette of this piece is not just satisfying to the eye, but lends it a pleasing feel in hand and mouth as well. Approaching Nosewarmer proportions, this pipe measures just under five inches in length and houses a compact tobacco chamber, making this an ideal option for those seeking short smoking sessions or a convenient travel companion. Up front, the walls of the bowl rise from a lifted heel as they expand to a mid-set waist before tapering back inward to the rim. The sweeping profile gives the bowl a forward urge, informing the pipe's graceful momentum to the fore. A broad transition lends ample room to wrap the thumb as it gives way to an oval shank that begins the aft's bend to the bit. A jet-black vulcanite stem brings up the rear, its gradual taper leaning further into the pipe's sleek aesthetic. The grain along the smooth, chestnut-stained stummel is mesmerizing as stunning flicks of flame grain wrap the bowl and flanks of the shank. Incredibly well-defined and condensed birdseye covers the pipe's entire underside and top of the shank, competing for attention with the aforementioned vertical grain.
