Italian Estates: Le Nuvole Smooth Poker (5 Cloud) (19) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Meaning "The Clouds" in English, Le Nuvole offers artisan pipes crafted by the brand's founder Maurizio Tombari. This Poker from Le Nuvole is a whimsical take on the classic form, offering a dynamic silhouette that's equal parts curvaceous and angular. Up front, a tall bowl stands atop a flat heel and grows thick walls that reach toward a stylized rim. Said rim boasts a dramatically raised fore that angles the aft toward the shank-and-stem arrangement — a design embellishment that lends the totality of the bowl a bowed outline. A wide transition pairs the aforementioned bowl to a trim shank-and-stem arrangement that continuously tapers toward the button, slenderizing the shape's rear and drawing attention to the pipe's head. A warm, honey-blonde smooth finish completes the ensemble and highlights gorgeous flame grain across the bowl's flanks.
