Genod: Smooth Brown Belge Tobacco Pipe

I don't know whether it is a matter of convergent evolution, or possible inspiration, but when you look at some of the old French shapes that preceded the English classics, and then the kind of shaping much later introduced by Sixten Ivarsson, you occasionally run into some designs that are surprisingly similar in approach, in terms of fine proportions and extra-smooth lines. I mention that of course because this lithe Belge by Genod is one such shape.
