Misc. Estates: Big Ben Jumbo Sandblasted Bent Brandy Tobacco Pipe

This bent Brandy from Big Ben bears a "Jumbo" stamp, and it certainly earns that designation. The Stack-like bowl houses two inches of depth within its stout insulating walls and features a particularly bold, voluptuous heel, which marks the start of a swift taper to the taut rim. A pinched panel on either flank of the bowl offers a comfortable perch for gripping fingers, while the muscular transition births a high-kicking oval shank that marries a steeply curved saddle stem of jet-black vulcanite. A dark sandblast dresses the stummel and coaxes out rippling grain across one flank of the bowl.
