Glenn Tinsky: Carved Freehand Tobacco Pipe

The son of beloved American artisan Mark Tinsky, Glenn Tinsky continues his family's pipe-making tradition, incorporating the influence of his father's style with a touch of Danish cues to create his own unique aesthetic. Before becoming a full-time pipe maker, Glenn had a long career in the restaurant industry, where he developed a discerning stylistic sensibility that he's applied to pipe carving with impressive results. This Freehand is a part of Glenn's budget-friendly series, offering quality, everyday smokers at an approachable price. It's unique piece that combines features of the Dublin and the Poker to create an elegant and functional piece. The tapered bowl features a broad, flat rim that rests solidly on an angled heel, creating a dynamic forward cant mirrored by the asymmetrical shank face and stem base out back, creating visual balance and easy clenching. Dressed in a glossy, midnight-hued, carved finish, the stummel boasts a wealth of engaging texture, handsomely contrasted by the smooth rim.
