American Estates: Moonshine Sandblasted Bent Bulldog (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Though currently produced in Tennessee, Moonshine's roots began in Appalachia, and the brand's name and shaping style align with that region's rugged and practical tradition. This bent Bulldog is a hearty and unique pipe from the brand, being one of the few bent Bulldog renditions we've seen from them, and one whose style is rather far removed from their current portfolio. The transition is wide and gives way to a lifting shank paired to a tapering stem of black acrylic that's demurely downturned at the bit, both possessed of a firm diamond shaping and separated by a band of pale white. Up front, the bowl stands atop a firm heel and flares out to its high, ridgeline-wrapped waist before tapering to the rim, offering plenty of room to showcase the stummel's inky sandblast.
