Sandblasted Pot with Cocobolo (852) Tobacco Pipe

Montana native and the man behind Yeti pipes, Micah Cryder became fascinated with pipe making after smoking a pipe for the first time in high school. His passion for the craft became intense and all encompassing, and he eventually quit his barista job and left university to pursue pipe making full-time. He's now one of America's premier pipe makers, garnering considerable praise for his unique shaping style, handsome finishing work, and mind-boggling attention to detail.

While Cryder is know for his whimsical and highly organic pipes, this Pot is a fairly classic design, showcasing the Montana artisan's deft understanding of traditional shaping cues. Like many pipes produced by North American carvers, this piece boasts a reserved length while retaining a muscular build, making it ideal for those who prefer sturdy shapes that can travel anywhere. Shape-wise, this piece features a stout, thick-walled bowl that's balanced at the fore of a sleek, arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement, one that keeps the entire form streamlined in profile and lightweight in hand. A gorgeous sandblast envelopes the briar and highlights stunning birdseye across the bowl's flanks, while a striking accent of cocobolo adorns the junction and ties the entire form together with a touch of vibrant color.
