American Estates: Scottie Piersel Sandblasted Pencil Shank Liverpool with Morta and Juma (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Scottie Piersel's background in industrial engineering, sculpting, and architecture is clearly demonstrated within her impressive portfolio of pipes. The artisan's pipes are known to combine beauty and elegance with function and utility, and her signature pencil-thin shank-and-stem arrangements provide a comfortability in the hand and between the teeth. That trademark feature can be seen here in this Liverpool, which marries a willowy aft to a more traditional bowl. Said bowl is compact, contributing to the lightweight disposition of this pipe, and its cylindrical silhouette creates a timeless profile. Despite its smaller stature, the bowl still houses a respectable tobacco chamber, ensuring you don't sacrifice smoking time. Out back, the transition gives way to the aforementioned shank and stem, which are connected at the junction by a thin accent band made of morta. The stem is cut from Juma and tapers to the bit, its pearly-white pigment juxtaposing the otherwise dark color palette of the pipe. Save for the smooth rim, the auburn-stained stummel is finished in a craggy sandblast that highlights handsome grain while also providing the smoker with ample texture to enjoy.
