IMP Meerschaum: Spot Carved Belge with Silver (with Case and Churchwarden Stem)

Nodding back to the clay pipes that were commonly seen in taverns hundreds of years ago, this IMP offering is a mighty fine take on the classic Belge and was crafted from pale meerschaum. It's essentially the same design as the Cutty shape, just without a heel spur underneath the bowl's base. While it wears a primarily smooth finish, the bowl has been treated to a detailed spot carved pattern that offers just enough texture to keep the fingers entertained. The bowl here is particularly Egg-like in its plump shaping and displays a strong amount of forward cant, gradually tapering from its rounded base up toward the chamfered rim. Not to mention, it also contains a surprisingly deep chamber compared to most renditions and is handsomely accented by a sterling silver band at the end of the shank. It's also quite the versatile piece as it comes complete with either a Churchwarden stem of jet-black acrylic or a standard-sized one with a camouflage pattern — all conveniently stowed together in a fitted case.
