Sandblasted Rhodesian (B) Tobacco Pipe

Among Max Rimensi's most iconic signature shapes, this Rhodesian combines a natural, earthy palette and organic silhouette while maintaining crisp ridge lines and fine, geometric precision. With a shank and stem of somewhat reduced breadth and height, the sinuous curve grows naturally and gracefully to the transition, where it widens to become a part of the bowl. The low waistline brings the pipe's center of gravity to a lower elevation, and the domed top offers a surface perfect for resting a thumb or forefinger. The matte finish is irresistible and consistent with the dark-and-light tones of the stummel, which is graced with fine grain. Easy to hold, fun to examine, and demonstrating an organic sensibility, this piece hits all the targets.
