COMMENT:
Design Story: As you may note, this shape has a lot in common with the Bolero, particularly the thin silver band, the shank insert (though this one is not briar), and above all, the bowl shape. Apparently, Bruto was in a very unusual mood one day, and so he wanted to produced something, well... unusual! As he's always been in love with the elegance of the Bolero, with its magical combination of tradition and innovation, he decided to try and maintain the classic touch of the shape, while adding a new dimension of "craziness", which is the crooked mouthpiece and shank. He decided to name the shape after a New York quartet which is famous for playing classic pieces, combined with modern and folkloric music..
The Kronos, I believe, would make an absolutely great pipe if you smoke pressed tobaccos, due to the relatively small chamber size, which is usually about a Dunhill Group 2-3.
Note that the pipe here is a different take on the Kronos that Bruto came up with recently. The difference lies in the bowl shape, which is very similar to the Barrel. |
