German Estates: Pipe Art 2000 Smooth Bent Brandy Tobacco Pipe

A sturdy, gestural design, this bent Brandy from Pipe Art 2000 features a plump, muscular bowl that rises from its broad, subtly lifted heel to its aft-slanted rim. Out back, the shank matches the girth and substance of the bowl and curls into an arcing saddle stem of jet-black acrylic. The slightly stretched transition makes for a comfortable perch to drape a digit over, and the fluid bend of the shank and stem encourages a comfortable smoking posture. The stummel wears a warm, traditional smooth finish, which highlights fine strands of flame grain on either flank of the bowl.
