Claudio Cavicchi: Black Sandblasted Bent Dublin Tobacco Pipe

Imbued with a Horn-like disposition, this bent Dublin from Claudio Cavicchi makes for a fluid, dynamic interpretation of the classic shape. The bowl stands with a subtle forward urge, its walls flaring gradually toward the slightly curved rim. A tapering shank curls gently upward from a seamless transition to meet a gingerly downturned stem, the pair offering a comfortable smoking posture. Dressing the stummel is a crisp, inky sandblast that reveals waves of rippling growth rings wrapping around the briar, with the rim finished in a smooth, mahogany stain for contrast.
