English Estates: Gresham Giants Smooth Apple (130) (by Comoy's) Tobacco Pipe

This "130" Apple from Comoy's was made for Gresham Giants and lives up to its name rather well, coming in at nearly six inches in length and boasting a bowl that's nearly two inches tall. This bowl is wonderfully plump, with ample curves throughout its pert build that lend it a comfortable feel in hand, its slight flare to a mid-set waistline followed by a rounded arc to the rim. The shank and stem here are far more slender by comparison, the low-set transition seeing the shank ebb out of the bowl in an understated manner before it meets a sleek, lengthy saddle stem. The stummel here is dressed in a handsome auburn stain that reveals a peppering of birdseye on either flank of the bowl.
