JOE SKODA UNSMOKED HAND MADE "BRAIN CORAL" 0901 ESTATE PIPE COMPLETE

Description

I have only had the pleasure of offering a handful of pipes over the years from Joe Skoda, but each one was an absolutely impressive work of art! Skoda is a legend in American pipe making and known for his often whimsical designs while also emulating nature like with this incredible pipe called "Brain Coral". If you've ever snorkeled in tropical waters, you'll certainly recognize this and Joe made a functional conversation piece here that would be a highlight of any collection. The best part is, not only are the aesthetics of his pipes amazing but they smoke exceptionally well too made from the finest aged briar with unsurpassed engineering. The bowl cradles in hand due to it's round shape offering tons of briar surrounding a relatively modest chamber. The shank is round and short but quickly extended by a long ornate carved piece of what appears to be driftwood which holds the hand-cut fancy ebonite stem with flared bit and signature two dot logo which Joe states "fills the void of an S shape". His stem work is second to none and designed to reduce turbulence to create a smooth and cool draw. The finish is a lovely green with the brain coral intricately hand-carved and must have been time consuming to say the least! Awaiting it's first smoke, this Skoda comes complete with logo glove and is simply not to be missed.
