About This Pipe

GBD's Unique series offers Freehand-inspired pipes that deviate from the classic English shaping for which the workshop is known. This large, floral bent Dublin exemplifies the design sensibility of that line and features a tall, flaring bowl with a chamber capacity over two inches deep, ensuring plenty of long, leisurely smoking sessions. The bowl's broad rim is crowned with craggy plateau, which mirrors the plateau found at the wide face of the shank. A warm, traditional smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights streaks of flame grain across the flanks of the bowl, while spot carvings around the fore of the bowl and the shank end offer some textural intrigue.
