COMMENT:
Sorry about the joke regarding whether or not the pipe accepts a cleaner. Call me crazy, but I did indeed run the test! When I realized that it wasn't a surprise that the cleaner doesn't pass, I was relieved that I still have a bit of sanity in me! This is another Armellini signature pipe. I find it funny though that it has a bowl shape which is not quite the classic Dublin/Calabash, while the Calumet does! I wonder if that was deliberate! Anyway, the whole idea is the dual, acute bend on the shank, leading to a very short tapered mouthpiece. The shank is naturally made of three pieces that were put together and later rusticated. This is a pipe that can be very comfortably clenched on if you so choose; this is because the tapered mouthpiece is quite slim, with a thickness of a mere 4.6mm. Ah, the mouthpiece itself is part of the first part of the shank; this is further clarified in the first photo, from left, second row.
This pipe has been made even more unique through an innocent mistake: It was stamped "Calumet" instead of "Calabash"! |
