Sven had a talent for designing "instant classics," pipes whose shape had never been seen before, but which, once produced, seem both inevitable and timeless. This is one such. It has a forward-canted "belge" shaped bowl, and a very long pencil shank, fitted with a superb handcut saddle bit. The blast is quite spectacular, reminiscent of the best of pre-War Dunhills. Condition is nigh onto impeccable in all regards. It promises to be a wonderful smoker with any sort of tobacco.
