Misc. Estates: Daniel Mustran Smooth Reverse Calabash Bent Brandy (2021) Tobacco Pipe

While the Croatia-based carver Daniel Mustran is known predominantly for his inventive and highly stylized Freehands, he also fashions modernized renditions of pipe-chart standards, like this bent Brandy offering. Though quite compact in terms of length, measuring less than five inches from end to end, this piece boasts a tall, heavy-set bowl of respectable chamber depth, making it ideal for on-the-go smoking. The shank, though diminutive in relation to the bowl, houses a reverse Calabash chamber, which collects any excess moisture and ensures a cooler, drier smoking experience. Mustran has dressed this particular piece in a smoky, chestnut-hued smooth finish and topped it with a saddle stem of electric-blue acrylic for a lively and eye-catching presentation.
