American Estates: BriarWorks Neptune Dark Old Hickory Stubby Dublin (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Though quite compact in terms of length, measuring less than five inches from end to end, this Dublin from BriarWorks' Neptune line offers a surprisingly capacious chamber, making it ideal for on-the-go smoking. The overall composition is quite muscular and sturdy, the bowl and shank well-balanced and thick. It's handsomely dressed in a deep, dark, inky stain that covers the wire-style rustication of the Old Hickory series for an in-hand feel that's rich with texture. A saddle stem of jet-black does well to harmonize with the stummel, while a band of ivory white offers plenty of visual contrast at the junction. Unsmoked.
