Featuring a bowl that resembles a Calabash, this bent Dublin from AKB Meerschaum is lithely curved and carved with subtle mastery, ingraining into it an intrigue that magnifies the more it is looked at. The stummel of this pipe is engraved with overlapping scales throughout, interrupted solely by the transition to the stem and the beadlines across the bowl just before the rim. These scales resemble the skin of a dragon and, if this idea of smoking from the essence of a drake resonates with you, it can be said that the stem itself is a continuation of the dragon for, like a curved claw, it extends from the shank like a talon, tapering towards the end and thematically tying the piece together.
