Partially Sandblasted Popera with Silver Tobacco Pipe

Louisiana-based artisan J. Mouton fashions meticulously detailed takes on classic forms, often prioritizing full-bodied bowls and clean, sleek lines. This is mostly true for the Popera offered here, yet this piece forgoes the full-bodied bowl for a much more reserved — and easily portable — design. As the name suggests, the Popera combines elements of the Poker and Opera shapes, with a tight-knit, oblong bowl that rests on a flat, sure-sitting heel. Reliably sturdy when sat down, yet just as easily slipped into a pocket and taken on the go, this signature shape combines the best of both forms. This particular Popera wears a dark, smoky sandblast, with only the rim left smooth for a subtle touch of contrast. A silver mount adorns the shank, tying the composition together with an elegant dose of flash.
