Bill Shalosky Pipe 695 Bent Two-Tone Sandblast Volcano

The sweeping lift of the stummel's underside to the chin and the taper of the shank make this two-toned and handmade volcano from American carver, Bill Shalosky, look even more bent than it actually is.  Sandblasted and finished in a rusty contrast on top that curvy underside provides a second tone being completely black and both top and bottom have been given a high-end oil finish to preserve the shine of the pipe.  The crown saddle stem provides just enough girth to balance the thick walls of the bowl and the chamber itself is slightly conical being well suited for ribbon cuts, though like all of Bill's pipes, this smoker draws so well that anything will be wonderful smoked here.
