Yeti Partially Sandblasted Diplomat (1120) Tobacco Pipe

Montana-based artisan Micah "Yeti" Cryder boasts a diverse portfolio containing a variety of silhouettes and an assortment of stylishly modern finishes and accents. Yeti pipes also encompass the best of the Danish and American carving styles — this pipe being no exception. Lithe and graceful in profile, this Diplomat pairs a stout yet palm-filling bowl with an elegantly bent shank-and-stem combination. As a whole, the piece displays a fluid sense of momentum, and this sprawling curvature isn't just pleasing to the eye — it also offers a more comfortable smoking posture. The stem's graceful downturn offers a comfortable clench, and the combined length of the shank and stem is enough to reduce the arm movement needed to lift the pipe to the palate.

This Diplomat is just as beautiful in finish as it is in form: A crisp sandblast dress the stummel, accentuating the bowl's plump curves and the briar's gorgeous grain. The rich, earthy hues throughout the stummel make a lovely backdrop for the pipe's vivid stem of hot pink, which is replete with iridescent swirls that mirror the briar's mesmerizing grain.
