Tsuge: Sandblasted Bent Dublin with Bamboo (362) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

A stout rendition of the bent Dublin shape, this "362" design showcases the elegant line work and sophisticated shaping for which the Tsuge workshop is known. The form's characteristic flared rim is present, but here it's lightly chamfered, softening the brawny appearance of the bowl in profile. The shank curls from the low-set transition before giving way to a single knuckle of warm bamboo, which immediately brightens the composition and provides a touch of organic flair. Then, a saddle stem of jet-black acrylic begins its gentle downturn for a comfortable smoking posture. The stummel wears an earthy sandblast, save for the aforementioned rim, which is smoothly polished for textural contrast.
