Abe Herbaugh: Smooth Dublin with Musk Ox Horn Tobacco Pipe

With an inflated rim with an understated bevel around the tobacco chamber, this Dublin from Abe Herbaugh reflects a Danish styling, with a traditionally cylindrical shank and upright bowl with a slightly lifting forward heel. The dome of the rim provides a bit of added vertical impression to the bowl, which tapers from the heel to the rim with reserve.

Of particular interest is the pearlescent Musk Ox horn that comprises the accent separating the stummel from the crisp, flat saddle mouthpiece. The stain is a ruby-esque mahogany, providing a woodsy hue and natural affect, and the grain is simply excellent, rising around the flanks in vertical flames and combining with the shape for a classic appeal.
