Be very careful when picking this pipe up for the first time- it is so lightweight that you are likely to end up accidently throwing it at the ceiling. Seriously. At a mere half of an once, this is pretty much how light a pipe can get and still be made out of briar. Adding to the intrigue is the almost perfect, evenly spaced ring grain that has been beautifully coaxed forward by the burnt ochre finish. Every sundae needs a cherry, and here that cherry is the fact that this pipe comes with, not one, but two stems. The first is made from a lovely piece of horn, the other from the finest German Ebonite. Dress this piece depending on your mood, or use one of the mouthpieces for show and the other for go. For lovers of light weight smoking machines, I imagine this one would be hard to pass up.
