Some may say this was inspired by a movie with many pipe makers making the shape the character smoked. I have to tell you though; this is one of my oldest shapes. My template for this piece is dated 1989 which was way before the movie. I really like everything about and it is very comfortable in the mouth and hand. This piece came out with a incredible blast, beautiful colors and it is a sitter. Hand cut Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Hammer Textured” fitment. Thank you very much for looking.
