American Estates: Paul's Pipes Smooth Blowfish (J) Tobacco Pipe

This Blowfish from Paul's Pipes features the shape's characteristic grain-defining asymmetry. The composition is formed by a set of crisp ridgelines that unevenly separate the stummel, accented by the bowl's bulbous flanks that both display a stunning array of birdseye. Said bowl contours well to hand and houses a respectable tobacco chamber, ideal for longer smoking sessions. From a wide transition, a low-slung shank marries the bowl and pairs to a demurely bent half-saddle stem of vulcanite. The inky hue of the stummel contrasts well with the warm, chestnut-hued stain up front.
