Mastro Geppetto: Rusticato Churchwarden Tobacco Pipe

Any long-time pipe smoker will tell you that you should have at least one Churchwarden design in your collection, as they're built for maximum comfort and pair quite well with a good book. This particular offering from Mastro Geppetto boasts the utilitarian coziness typical for the design as well as a rather handsome appearance in profile. It pairs a tall, Dublin-like bowl, complete with the form's flared rim and steady downward taper, to an upturned shank and a long, arcing stem of jet-black acrylic. It's finished in the dark, ruby-tinged rendition of the Rusticatio finish, providing ample texture for the fingers to admire.
