Tokutomi is on a roll with the sleek, especially stylized Calabash pieces he's been producing over the last year. He's created a handful now, each carefully rendered with clean lines and exacting transitions, from the removable boxwood cap to the deep, tuba-like, sandblasted briar wood body and full-bent, vamplate style vulcanite stem. They've proved to be as popular as they are alluring, in part, I'm sure, on account of how good and dry they smoke. None of us here at Smokingpipes.com are quite sure when Toku will move away from composing these beautiful designs, and the few we've had so far have sold quickly, so if you've been straddling the fence on a purchase consider this a gentle push.
