Caminetto: Rusticated Oom Paul with Silver (08) (AT) Tobacco Pipe

This Oom Paul from Caminetto strikes a rather more reserved posture than other offerings from the Italian workshop. The tall bowl displays a slight taper toward the rim, where it houses a deep chamber for long smoking sessions. The heel is strong, typical of Italian shaping, and sweeps back into the upturned shank, where it meets a silver accent band at the junction to a deeply bent acrylic stem. The Oom Paul is a shape well suited to hanging from the jaw, and this example is no exception, perfect for a walking pipe or smoking with a good book. The stummel is dressed in a deep walnut rustication, creating plenty of texture for the fingers as well as the eyes.
