Sandblasted Author (0823) Tobacco Pipe

The Author is a classic shape, and classic shapes are where Wojtek Pastuch's skill commends itself. A plump bowl and thick shank pair splendidly in this piece, while still maintaining a profile compact enough to tuck into a pocket, as a crisp sandblast brings out all of the stacked ring grain and rugged texture one might hope for — as well as a traditional palette, with its dark tones all around, and just a hint of warmth at the rim. The combination of English shape and Danish softness is one that has worked time and again, and one which pairs with Wojtek's style of precision perfectly, making this a really special piece.
