Wojtek Pastuch: Sandblasted Witch's Hat with Maple (0803) Tobacco Pipe

Even before I realized the inspiration behind this whimsical shape, I knew there was something especially fantastical about it. Viewed from above, its rim is almost perfectly circular, though as your eye travels down to the transition, its organic undulation and naturalesque, forward-inclined posture becomes readily apparent. In hand, it's deceptively lightweight, coming in at just over 23 grams, and it sits sturdily atop its tidy, neat heel, allowing its shank and elegantly flared mount to energetically extend above the resting surface. As for the mount itself, it's fashioned from practically iridescent maple, complementing the very, very light-depth Danish-style sandblast, and making for a fine pairing to the beautifully warm, contrast-stained plateau at the hat's "brim". All in all, this lithe number should make for a magnificent daily companion, well-suited to clenching, and especially appropriate for your morning commute, be it behind the wheel of a station wagon or atop an aerodynamic Swiffer Wet Jet.
