American Estates: BriarWorks Neptune Dark Sandblasted Cherrywood (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-009-39164
A nearly vertical Cherrywood from BriarWorks' now discontinued Neptune line, this piece reminds me of an Oom Paul due to its vertical orientation, yet stands literally and metaphorically on its own due to a broad, flat heel: additionally supporting the bowl's playful forward curve. Presented in a deep, inky sandblast, the stummel reveals rippling growth rings through the midsection while the flanks of the bowl display ample birdseye. The forward curvature supports a comfortable feel in hand, naturally bringing the finger pads to rest on the stimulating finish and providing multiple locations for a thumb to rest. A steeply upswept shank joins the bowl high and reaches quickly upward toward a thin white accent band, forming a noble base for the jet-black acrylic saddle stem rising above. A playful take from a staple of American pipe artistry, this pipe is sure to become a favorite in anyone's rotation.
