Red Sandblasted Bent Dublin (Kikuchi) (02) Tobacco Pipe

Guo Hui Zhang's passion for pipes began with his work as an importer and purveyor of pipe-making materials. Zhang's understanding of large-scale pipe logistics inspired an exciting idea: the mass production of high-quality, artisan pipes. In 2017, he opened the GH Zhang workshop and partnered with pipe makers around the world to achieve his vision. Each GH Zhang pipe is designed by a famous artisan pipe maker and shaped on a CNC machine before being finished by hand and fitted with stems by the team at GH Zhang. Offering more than 40 shapes in smooth and sandblasted finishes, GH Zhang presents pipe smokers with a rare opportunity to procure artisan-style pipes at an accessible price.

The youngest of the three artisans to work in the Tsuge Ikebana workshop, Asami Kikuchi crafts subtly organic compositions marked by supple curves and clean, legible lines. GH Zhang lovingly captures Kikuchi's aesthetic with this "02" Dublin, a flowing design featuring a flared, dramatically canted bowl with a pointed heel paired with a flared, upturned shank. It's handsomely dressed in a red sandblast that highlights attractive grain throughout the stummel.
