Misc. Estates: Vollmer & Nilsson Smooth Cobra (Pipes & Tobaccos Magazine Pipe of the Year) (19/36) (2014) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Crafted in 2014 for Pipes and tobaccos magazine's Pipe of the Year, this Cobra from Vollmer & Nilsson boasts a forward-ebbing bowl with a crescent fore wall and a rounded rim, one that descends in a steady slope to a low-set transition. From the transition, the shank and stem flow upward and add a touch of gesture to the shape's profile, their elegant curvature promoting a comfortable smoking posture. A rich, smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights gorgeous grain across the briar's surface.
