Tom Eltang: Smokingpipes.com 15th Anniversary Rusticated Devil Anse Tobacco Pipe

For our 15th Anniversary, we decided to do something special — offer a limited-edition, low-production run of an extremely sought-after shape from one of the most celebrated artisans in the modern pipe making world. For our 15th Anniversary, we decided to celebrate with a Smokingpipes.com exclusive run of Tom Eltang's signature Devil Anse shape.

From its prototype, created mere hours after Tom first watched the Hatfields & McCoys miniseries, the design has undergone several alterations: a more Egg-like bowl form, a slightly longer style of shank and stem, and a more capacious tobacco chamber. The pipes featured in this batch are the final, perfected product of that process — hand-shaped, hand-finished, and meticulously engineered.
