Danish Estates: Jorn Larsen Smooth Bent Brandy (Uptown's) Tobacco Pipe

Not only a talented pipe-maker but also an exceptional machinist, Jorn Larsen famously invented a copy-frazer machine that was widely used by Danish marques in the 1990s and 2000s, and several workshops still use today. This bent Brandy by Jorn Larsen features a voluptuous bowl, its plump waistline filling one's hand while the trim rim keeps the composition sleek. Out back, a trim transition flows into a thick shank that flares to a broad, ovoid shank face, keeping the composition trim in profile while imbuing the form with a sturdy balance. A bent, cumberland saddle stem rounds out the composition, and its dark, chocolatey hues provide the perfect complement to the smoky stain that dresses the stummel, which highlights wisps of fetching grain throughout.
