Tsuge: Kaga Smooth (902) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Supple and minimilist, Tsuge's "902" is a handsome little number that's lightweight enough for easy jaw-hanging and compact enough to easily slip into a pocket. The stout, Pot-like bowl offers plenty of substance for the fingers to embrace, as it flares from its subtly lifted heel to its broad, rounded rim. The shank curls from the low-set transition and broadens swiftly into a slender saddle stem, which is demurely curved for a comfortable smoking posture. This particular "902" is dressed in a smoky smooth finish that highlights an impressive display of grain about the flanks of the bowl.
