Ardor: Mercurio Volcano Tobacco Pipe

The Volcano is not usually a shape I think of as being used to show off cross-cut grain patterns, but then Ardor isn't exactly a marque I usually think of as being shy about, well, the unusual. So, not tremendously surprising to see this pipe, a smooth and sturdy rendition of the Volcano that is indeed used to show off quite a cross-cut grain pattern, with a burst of radiating flame surrounding birdseye on the left and over on the right just a good old-fashioned display of birdseye in quantity.
