IMP Meerschaum: Partially Rusticated Bent Egg with Silver (with Case) Tobacco Pipe

With its remarkably light weight and rugged, rusticated finish, this bent Egg meerschaum from IMP is an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys a hands-free smoking experience or desires a pipe that will have no issues keeping the fingers engaged. The rustication here is more of a curling, wavy technique than is usually seen on meers, but it certainly has its own personality and provides a delightful tactile sensation. A beadline separates the smooth rim from the rest of the rusticated stummel and is echoed at the shank end, both contributing some subtle visual and textural diversity to the overall piece. The Turkish marque has then accented the shank end further with a shiny mount of sterling silver and paired the stummel to a black acrylic mouthpiece that will eventually offer less contrast as the stummel begins to darken with bespoke patina.
