Cesare Imperiale E Sandblast Bulldog with Brass Estate Pipe

Mostly the shape of this Cesare Imperiale bulldog estate pipe from Italy is classic and based on the older English models, but you can see the hints of Italian design in a slightly more pronounced heel under the bowl and the absence of any traditional beads around the widest part of the rhodesian bowl.  A deep and detailed sandblast reveals some inherent growth rings though there is some darkening around the slightly beveled rim.  Wide in the chamber and quite deep for longer sessions with a broad cut or tongue friendly blend, this sturdy and brass adorned smoker will do particularly well for those who can manage a slow pace.
