Mummert Calabash Reverse pipe, sandblasted black/brown, classic straight poker model with black ebonite mouthpiece. Unique rating. The pipe has an original and essential line that makes it very elegant, with a Golden Contrast colouring that gives it a superior class. An original model invented by Werner, which has now become his trademark and is always contemporary and pleasant to smoke. It is a Calabash Reverse, which are pipes with a generously sized stem as they have a very large expansion chamber. This creates a vortex that allows the smoke to expand and cool, giving unusually fresh smokes. The difference compared to 'traditional' pipes is remarkable and very pleasant. Even the tobacco yields more as it remains dry until the end of the smoke. The shapes are squat due to construction requirements, but the pipes are practical and cheerful, especially in this model, which has a tempered glass stem so you can see the smoke passing through it. Werner's imagination overturns traditional construction standards, taking his pipes to a higher level. The pipe has sharp edges that enhance the perfection of Werner's craftsmanship. The flaming is beautiful and fairly regular, enhanced by its very fine sandblasting. Finally, the mouthpiece, made with meticulous precision, has a thin, perfect tooth for absolute comfort between the teeth. The pipe is medium/large in size and stands out for its more than decent bowl, which provides excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness is not record-breaking but still ideal for smoking while walking or sitting comfortably in an armchair. The sandblasted series features pipes with small defects in the briar and a beautiful, regular grain. Sandblasting is done by hitting the pipe with tiny grains of silica at high pressure, which dig into the soft part of the briar, creating the distinctive pattern of the sandblasted pipe. It is the healthiest pipe because if there were any small cracks, the silica would pierce the pipe immediately. The process is long and difficult to perform but gives a striking final result. The quality is the same as all other Mummert pipes. It is available in hazelnut, brown, black, red and natural colours. This pipe is ideal for the warmer months as it heats the hand less. It is excellent for walking as it is less prone to scratches and marks. Werner Mummert is considered a master for his impeccable technique in creating his 'jewels'.
