Le Nuvole (2016 Make) 4 Belge with Brindle Estate Pipe

Finished smooth in a British tan, this Italian handmade from Le Nuvole is marvelously grained in a tight display of flaw and fill free briar.  The fine lines of the shape are both sensual and precise while maintaining a balance of taper and curve that is easy to recognize on this excellent condition pipe regardless of experience in critiquing artisan briar pipes.  All those esthetic touches would be enough, but this handmade boasts a perfectly placed draft hole at the bottom of the slightly conical chamber, dead center to the bowl, making this Italian briar not just a beautiful blonde but a competent smoker requiring little maintenance to get every last morsel of tobacco into flavorful smoke.
