This style of rustication, adopted from Tom Eltang, has been a favorite amongst smokers of Danish high grade pipes. Possessing a unique visual and tactile appeal, it is no wonder why it has done so well amongst a crown that normally only pursues smooth or sandblasted finishes. Here Jürgen Moritz as paired the rustication with a nicely proportioned Billiard. The size is just right and the wildly colored Cumberland stem is a beautiful accompaniment. As a bonus, the rim has been left smooth. An extremely comfortable, practical and smart-looking pipe.
