IMP Meerschaum: Smooth Bent Dublin with Silver (with Case) Tobacco Pipe

p>IMP fashions their pipes from solid meerschaum block, topping them with hand-made, stylish stems of high-quality acrylic. The Turkish workshop ranks among the most respected in the industry, with this robust, tall bent Dublin being a fine example of their craftsmanship. It's a playful take on the classic shape, with a softly inflated, gently flaring rim softening the form of this rather Pot-like pipe. Furthermore, the lifting heel comes to a playful point, while the equally muscular shank turns lightly upward. A gleaming silver band at its end contrasts the pale stummel, with the precious metal lending an elegant aesthetic to this piece, with a vibrant ruby and black acrylic stem adding a pop of color and turning down by the bit for smoking comfort.
