Mike Sebastian Bay: Rusticated Dublin Tobacco Pipe

In the years since his mentorship under Tom Eltang, Mike Bay has blossomed into one of Denmark's most esteemed and prolific artisans. His shaping style, while influenced by Eltang and classic Danish pipe design, reveals Bay's own creative vision across myriad finishes and an eclectic array of accent materials, finishes, and color palettes. Tastefully toeing the line between conservative and contemporary, Bay's portfolio delights with distinctive renditions of favorite shapes, each singular, captivating, and imbued with world-class engineering.

This Dublin is a playful reinterpretation of the shape-chart standard, which welcomes a dramatic reimagining of proportions to produce a compact and stolid version. Barely over four inches in length, yet with a chamber capacity of Group 4 or 5, this is a hefty Nosewarmer for the discerning collector who values practicality and eye-catching aesthetics. Apart from the smooth rim, this pieces bears Bay's recognizable rustication — the perfect finish for such a travel-friendly pipe as it offers a rugged charm.
