German Estates: Peter Klein Smooth Bent Brandy (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

A plump and robust bent Brandy rendition from German craftsman Peter Klein, this piece presents with a gently arced stretch of shank and stem, its demure curvature lending the composition an elegant stature and a comfortable smoking posture. The stem's saddle shaping lends this piece a sleeker aft side, though its shank and the stem base keep things looking rather muscular. This is no surprise, given its drilling to accommodate a 9mm filter, and the bowl balances this extra mass quite well. Said bowl sits atop a lifted heel and rises in a slow taper from its low-set waistline, the rounded edges present here lending it plenty of comfort in the hand. Dressed in a dark chestnut stain that reveals streaks of wrapping flame grain through the flanks, this pipe is sure to make a valued member of your rotation.
