Smooth Chubby Blowfish Smooth Chubby Blowfish with Black Palm Tobacco Pipe

I think the Blowfish is an irresistible shape because it so economically utilizes the best grain available in a block of briar, generally with both birdseye and variously oriented straight grain on generous display. This is a relatively small piece, but all of the details are apparent. Birdseye graces the flanks in unending swirls and straight grain runs along the flattened band of briar running along the underside and up the fore. The decorative, Black Palm accent is fabulously grained, with a neat expansion ring in the stem to echo the flare of the shank. A chamfered rim tops it all off with additional interesting grain and an easy-filling profile. If you want a pocket pipe that displays all the sophistication of a larger piece, this may be the pipe for you.
