IMP Meerschaum: Smooth Tomato with Silver (with Case) Tobacco Pipe

This Tomato from IMP features a bulbous, forward-canted bowl set to an upturned shank and an arcing saddle stem of jet-black acrylic. The sweeping profile and the gestural poise of the bowl lend the design a sense of dynamism, while the supple curves and lifted heel provide a comfortable in-hand fit. A sterling silver accent at the shank face matches a circlet around the base of the mouthpiece, and both add a dose of eye-catching flash to the composition. The crisp whiteness of the meerschaum stummel is a handsome canvas for future patina to accrue.
