Tsuge: 80th Anniversary Sandblasted Rhodesian Reverse Calabash No. 51 (2016) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

To commemorate their 80th anniversary in 2016, Tsuge released this striking oversized bent Rhodesian — a bold departure from the Japanese brand's typically sleek and graceful designs. Substantial in hand, this pipe borders on magnum proportions, featuring a generously sized bowl crowned with a broad metal accent that highlights the Rhodesian's iconic ridged rim and taper. The lower half of the bowl tapers smoothly into a soft heel that transitions into a robust, rounded shank, itself enhanced by a riveted metal band. A slightly bent, sturdy stem ensures a comfortable smoking experience. Finished in one of Tsuge's signature crisp black sandblasts, this piece is a fitting tribute to the company's eight decades of exemplary pipe craftsmanship.
