American Estates: Sean Reum Partially Rusticated Blowfish Tobacco Pipe

Based in Montana, Sean Reum has been a pipe maker since 2013 and draws on the Danish greats for aesthetic inspiration. This Blowfish by Sean Reum possesses a pert bowl, its walls bulging at a high-set waistline before tapering to a taut rim. Furthermore, the bowl features the traditional ridgelines of the Blowfish, as two crisp ridges frame the flanks, arcing from the heel, up the aft, and curving inward to the rim. Additionally, the left flank is dressed in a chestnut smooth finish, highlighting handsome grain, while the right flank wears a rugged rustication, creating a craggy feel in hand. Out back, the thick rounded shank bends upward to a trim saddle stem that demurely turns downward to the bit, manifesting a dynamic profile that accentuates the organic curvature of this piece.
