Neerup: P. Jeppesen Handmade High Grade Smooth Bent Dublin Tobacco Pipe

Weighing nearly a half pound, this more than palm-filling bent Dublin from Peder Jeppesen is entirely handmade and certainly eye-catching. Displaying a strong forward lean, the massive bowl flares toward a rim crowned in plateau, which is matched at the asymmetrical shank face. The stummel is dressed in one of Neerup's signature contrast stains, highlighting tight-knit tendrils of flame grain on all flanks for a handsome display, while a multi-colored stem arcs, then gently downturns. Offering an enormous chamber capacity, this piece is meant to be cradled, and will no doubt inspire lengthy, leisurely smoking sessions.
