Ser Jacopo Calumet Spongia Rusticated with Silver Estate Pipe

The Calumet series, from Italian maker, Ser Jacopo, was originally inspired by the ceremonial and peace pipes enjoyed by the original tobacco smokers - the Native Americans.  When first introduced there were only two shapes in the series but the line has broadened with variations on those like the hybrid shape of this Spongia light rusticated estate pipe.  Combining features from the cavalier, hawbill, and dublin, this Italian-made and naturally pale beauty also features a limited edition silver band, as do all the pipes in this series.  There is a whisper of rim darkening, but this handmade is in excellent condition with a marvelously smooth draw and comes with the original box and sleeve.
