The vulcanite tapered stem with a fishtail mouthpiece provides a comfortable smoking experience. **BRIAR & FINISH**
The pipe is made from smooth, flame-grained briar, with a natural, unstained finish that allows the wood's natural beauty to shine through. The vulcanite stem is a deep, glossy black, providing a striking contrast to the warm hue of the briar. **CONDITION**
