Ardor Urano Christmas 18 (2000 Make) Rusticated Billiard Estate Pipe

Darkly rusticated with spots of tans and rust peeking out of the carved finish, this Ardor Urano 2000 Christmas estate pipe was left smooth and polished with a light tan at the rim and underside of the shank where the stampings are still crisp.  The dynamic light and dark is further enhanced with a simple and slim band of ivory colored acrylic and the long tapered stem has a widened fishtail bit for comfortable clenching.  There is some significant darkening of the inner rim, but this Italian handmade from Ardor draws like a dream and the thick walled chamber is drilled cylindrical with a draft at the very bottom for long sessions waiting on Santa, or anytime a slow sipped bowl is needed.
