GH. Zhang (Sergey Ailarov) Chicago Pipe Show 08 (2024 Make) Bent Contrast Blast Tulip with Horn UNSMOKED Estate Pipe

Representing the most modern and technologically proficient new era of pipe production, Chinese company GH. Zhang has spent years perfecting the ability to recreate artisan pipe shapes in mass with specialized equipment that captures the perfect proportions of the world's finest handmade pipes.  Certifying their own works of creative shape designs, many artisan pipe makers around the world have licensed the manufacturer to produce their shapes with their own names attached.  This contrast sandblasted and horn trimmed bent tulip is an exact replica of Sergey's work and was introduced at the Chicago Pipe Show in 2024.  Many pipe makers and collectors alike comment that they can't tell the difference as even the details are superbly executed, including a smooth and perfect draw.  At less than half of what the original is worth, these production pipes are an excellent value of remarkable technique with no expense spared in finish or detail.
