AKB Meerschaum: Lattice Paneled Bent Dublin (with Case) Tobacco Pipe

Solid, tightly knit, and muscular, this bent Dublin from AKB Meerschaum features paneling along the bowl, leading the eye from the heel to the softly inflated rim, and given more prominence by way of the slight bowing at the mid-set waistline. The shank flicks upward very sharply, angling the amber-hued stem upward, downturning just a touch, and making for a profile that is not only handsome and dramatic, but also begs to be clenched. Additionally, this piece features some lovely lattice carving on the surface of the meerschaum, providing a wonderful canvass for future patination.
