Rinaldo: Lithos Oom Paul (YYY) Tobacco Pipe

A large, full-bodied take on the Oom Pual shape, this piece from Rinaldo boasts over seven inches of length and almost three inches of height, its robust proportions giving it an impressive and weighty in-hand presence. As one might expect for a pipe of this size, the bowl here houses a capacious chamber within its thick, insulating walls, ensuring plenty of long, leisurely smoking sessions, which the vertically orientated shank and stem are posed to assist. Dressing this piece is the earthy Lithos rustication, which lends a wealth of tactile detail to the briar, save for the rim and shank end, which are left smooth for contrast.
