Sandblasted Dublin (Four Clubs) Tobacco Pipe

A boldly Italian number, this Four Clubs Dublin from Federico Becker offers plenty of the tight, sleek style we've seen from the carver in the past, coupled with a bit of additional muscularity, especially toward the bowl. Rendered from a very fine piece of briar, it's been left virgin-finished, the form's only adornment being a spread of broad ring-grain. All those rippling rings should darken and become all the more well-defined with time and enjoyment, as this piece is sure to develop a beautiful patina.
