Karl Joura Grade 6 Bent Calvados--Unsmoked

Karl Joura Grade 6 Bent Calvados--Unsmoked
Just slightly below the Infiniti in grade and price, this is an entirely charming piece. It has a nicely rounded, "pleasingly plump" apple/brandy bowl, whose mass is offset by the well articulated shank, which flows pleasingly into the heel. The grain is dense and thin, the color a light amber brown, and the unusual (for Karl) tapered mouthpiece is handcut from variegated "Cumberland" vulcanite.
