Sandblasted Bent Brandy (0939) Tobacco Pipe

A sinuously flowing, compact, and lightweight bent Brandy, this piece from Wojtek Pastuch provides everything one could want in a comfortable jaw-hanger and convenient, on-the-go pipe of artisan quality. Well-balanced and expertly shaped, this design was fashioned with hands-free smoking in mind, and the chamber is respectably deep for a pipe that's less than five inches in length. Classically shaped, the bowl tapers from a rounded base, with the shank curving elegantly upward before the recurve of the mouthpiece. Said stem resembles a mount configuration; however, the domed portion is actually the base of the stem, not a mount affixed the shank end — a slight visual illusion of sorts. It's all topped with Wojtek's extra-craggy sandblast, a finish that's become something of a signature presentation from the Polish carver. Deep grooves and enticing ridges cover the stummel, apart from the smooth-polished rim, making this piece a joy to hold, even with its jaw-hanging capability.
