Natural Smooth Bent Dublin with Mammoth (917) Tobacco Pipe

A 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 his 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.

In keeping with Cryder's usual design aesthetic, this bent Dublin boasts a compact length that belies its muscular build and substantive in-hand presence. Shape-wise, this piece features a squat bowl that stands at the fore of an upturned shank and a demurely curved saddle stem. Said bowl stands atop a lifted heel and grows thick, insulating walls that flare upward to a crisp ridgeline before tapering inward to a plateau-crowned rim. Out back, the shank boasts a flare of its own, its gradual expansion terminating at a vibrant accent of mammoth, where it joins the aforementioned mouthpiece. This piece is dressed in a natural smooth finish that highlights gorgeous flame grain across the bowl and shank alike, the stain's warm complexion complemented by the accent's hues.
