I think this is a awesome pipe! I really like everything about it and I guess you could almost call it a nose warmer! The blast came out great and I really like the paneled look of the smooth top. This is my bent Cutty shape but in a panel form. The short stubby mouthpiece is very comfortable as it is my fishtail design. Hand cut Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Rope” fitment.. Thank you very much for looking.
