Genod: Sandblasted Rhodesian Tobacco Pipe

Languidly curved, this Rhodesian rendition from French marque Genod pairs a thick tapered stem to a trim shank at a domed mount of silvery metal, the fitment offering some elegant flash. In addition, we see a muscular bowl up front, one whose high-set waistline is rounded by a ridge that's oriented right at the transition, that's fairly squat, though still quite comfortable in hand. Dressing the briar here is a crisp, earthy sandblast that showcases some handsome grain all around, with its more understated hues contrasted nicely by the metal adornment at the shank end.
