About the Item

 

SMOOTH-SANDBLAST FREEHAND SMOKING PIPE

 

You are seeing one of the most charming Freehand from the Japanese artisan Tatsuo Tajima. The pipe is a nice combination of Freehand and Tomato shapes. The first obvious element in this item ,which is masterfully designed, is the harmony between the colors and finishes. Firstly, the Bowl is composed of four equal parts, which divided  from each other by four smooth separate blades. This gives a very unique shape to the Bowl.  Moreover, Shank exhibits pretty fine lines of engraving while it presents the natural pattern of the briar on its face. This beautiful pipe is very light and can be appreciated by professional smokers.
