Ser Jacopo: Spongia Rusticated Poker (R2) Tobacco Pipe

This particular Ser Jacopo rustication technique resembles the convoluted surface of sponges, hence the name "spongia." The zoological branch of science that studies sponges is called spongology, and since I am currently studying this pipe, that makes me a spongologist. And it's a fun pipe to study. The light-blonde stain will darken inevitably with time, which is the fun part of a near-natural finishing treatment. Becoming tans and gold with smoking, it will reflect its experiences with its owner. This compact Poker features a single beadline underneath its smooth rim, gently rounded rim that separates it from the rustication below. It's a pipe full of tactile and visual stimulation, and can act as credentials confirmation next time you crash a spongology conference.
