Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation: Fathers, Friends and Fire 2024 Smooth Tobacco Pipe

In honor of fathers throughout the world, Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation established their annual Fathers, Friends and Fire series, a limited-edition line celebrating Father's Day. Each edition features a pipe of a singular shape, with 2024's installment showcasing a stocky Dublin rendition, one whose figure boasts plenty of substance within a compact form factor. At the fore of the composition, the bowl stands with a slight forward cant, its sturdy walls showing a gradual flare toward the chamfered rim. A hearty shank joins to the bowl out back and meets a tapering acrylic stem, the pair keeping the composition's visual weight balanced. The annual series is characterized by an orange-and-black color scheme, with each piece finished in either a dark, crisp sandblast or a warm, smooth stain: seen here, this smooth-finished piece is delightfully contrasted by a jet-black stem.
