Barone Sandblasted Morta Bent Bulldog (B) Tobacco Pipe

This is a familiar enough theme for Max Rimensi: a Bulldog low-slung, sleek, and dark (they are almost always rendered in morta, with either black or, as here, cumberland stems). I can see several good reasons why Max keeps revisiting this general shape-type, not the least being that people seem to really like it. Also this has allowed Max to keep improving the design, the low and sleek flow of the heel, transition, shank, and stem having only gotten better and better over the years.
