G. Penzo: Sandblasted Nosewarmer Bent Brandy (A) Tobacco Pipe

Leveraging a background in industrial design, Giacomo Penzo crafts striking pipes that perfectly balance aesthetic grace with functional engineering, as evidenced by this fetching bent Brandy. Though a compact, abbreviated Nosewarmer, this piece boasts an impressive muscularity, most notably at the bowl and transition, both of which lend the composition's fore a noticeable denseness, visually and physically. Said bowl is posed at the fore of a subtly angled shank-and-stem arrangement, the duo's posture balancing the shape's outline and promoting a comfortable smoking posture. The stummel wears a rugged, ruby-hued sandblast that highlights radiating growth rings across the briar's surface.
