Bill Shalosky Pipe 657 Bent Sandblast Teapot with African Blackwood and Brindle

A bit of contrast in the sandblast finish and a long, round shank with an elongated cookie jar saddle in the brindle stem make this handmade from Bill Shalosky look a little longer than it actually is.  Adorned with a ring of African blackwood, this deeply blasted bent is both rugged and refined.  Light enough to clench for an entire smoke, this sweet spot sized chamber is tapered to the bottom and recommended for both flakes and virginias.
