Mocha Bulldog (4) (Three Stars) (2026) Tobacco Pipe

Mark Tinsky's Bulldogs are always a welcome sight, as they perfectly capture the form's angular lines, muscular build, and stoic charm. This particular example is no different, though its bowl is a bit squatter than typical renditions. A pair of beadlines sits high on the bowl's waistline and demarcates the tapered rim from the rest of the stummel, while the diamond shank glides from the low-set transition and marries a tapered mouthpiece. The Mocha smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights some handsome streaks of flame grain about the bowl.
