Smooth Bent Dublin with Horn (F) Tobacco Pipe

With a nod and a wink to an old Jorn Micke shape, this beautiful Ikebana offers the smoker a decidedly elegant composition as well as a pipe that promises to be a reliable smoking tool. It's thick walls and broad, relatively deep chamber will satisfy a good long smoke and a cool handfeel; two components to the piece that when paired to its surprising light weight and quarter-bent stature add up to something really special from the venerable Japanese marque. And lest I forget, here's something to cherish for you grain-hounds too.
