Miscoi Partially Sandblasted Bent Pot with Bone Tobacco Pipe

Canadian artisan Dimitry Miscoi originally took up pipe restoration as a hobby while working as a web developer. He made his first pipe from a kit in 2014 and started selling them professionally a few years later. Today he makes about 30 pipes a year as a part-time pipe maker. Miscoi pipes do not have a grading system, as Dimitry believes only his greatest pipes should leave the workshop.

This bent Pot of Dimitry's making is somewhat compact at just over Nosewarmer length but packs plenty of visual intrigue into the briar it has. Dimitry sandblasted the stummel with deep, lightly wavy rows that are sure to provide a fascinating touch and then stained it a warm mahogany hue, which can especially be appreciated on the smooth rim of birdseye. The bowl is traditionally squat and in this case backed with a short, round shank that quickly fades into a large, flaring accent of bone. The stem is saddle-style vulcanite, the mouthpiece bending and tapering gently back from a single expansion ring. Colored and textured to astounding effect, this is a great work on Dimitry's part that displays his superb ability with sandblasting and natural accent.
