Eclesias Pipes “Dragon Scale” Sandblasted Liverpool Handmade Briar Pipe, New

Description

There are some artisans who are well known and widely acclaimed for their sandblasting techniques. Bill Taylor of Ashton, J.T. Cooke, Lee Von Erck, and so on. The reason these figures are so well known for their sandblasts is not just because they mastered pre-existing techniques, but went so far as to create their own. Pavel Holub’s Eclesias pipes display a similar ingenuity, with his “Dragon Scale” sandblasting producing results that are as tactile and densely layered as their namesake.

In this instance, Holub’s signature sandblast has been applied to an otherwise highly traditional Liverpool shape. Wearing a light natural finish, paired with a hand cut forest cumberland stem, it’s a stout and sturdy take on a true classic, without being at all heavy.
