English Estates: James Upshall Smooth Bent Dublin (P) Tobacco Pipe

Handmade, high-quality pipes that comprise James Upshall's portfolio are considered to be among the best British pipes to be found, with this precisely crafted bent Dublin being a fine example. The subtly tapered bowl flares toward the gently inflated rim from a firm heel, the overall disposition bringing to mind the Pot design, with its thick walls and stout build. It's paired to a lithe, gracefully arcing shank and saddle stem, the latter slightly turned down to promote a comfortable smoking posture, while a warm, traditional stain dresses the stummel of this handsome English pipe.
