Ardor: Meteora Bucaneve Dublin with Silver Tobacco Pipe

Inspired by an Eastern Orthodox monastery in Greece that was built on natural pillars of stone, the Meteora finish comprises a rusticated background upon which smooth panels are fashioned, providing an eye-catching, texturally pleasing aesthetic. This Dublin is wearing a natural-stained version of that finish and should darken with the warm tan, golden brown and even pink tones associated with patination as the pipe is smoked over time. Shape-wise, the flaring, robust bowl features a high-set transition from which the equally muscular shank extends, tapering quickly to a generous silver mount. The accent lends a gleaming dash of flash to the composition and is contrasted then by the jet-black stem, all of which results in a great-looking pipe with a good bit of chamber depth.
