Esta pipa se la dedico a la magnífica película de aventuras titulada “El Temible Burlón” (The Crimson Pirate), del año 1952, dirigida por Robert Siodmak, e interpretada por Burt Lancaster, Eva Bartok, Nick Cravat, Torin Thatcher, James Hayter, Noel Purcell, Margot Grahame, y Christopher Lee. En la película, Nick Cravat interpreta al personaje cuyo nombre es “Ojo”.
Burt Lancaster y Nick Cravat vivíeron en el mismo barrio, se conocieron en un campamento a los nueve años y mantuvieron una amistad, férrea como pocas, hasta el fin de sus días. Siendo muy jóvenes, juntos probaron suerte en el mundo del circo, donde crearon el dúo "Lang y Cravat".
Saludos.

Pretty pipe and very well executed. I like the juxtaposition of blast and smooth.
However, I am a clumsy guy and the thinness of the shank at the bowl makes me nervous. I drop too many of my pipes for various reasons and am sure that I would break this one.
Perhaps for a more careful smoker. Sigh!

I think I would have liked it better without the smooth part on the top of the bowl and the bend in the stem seems a little too severe. That being said, this is one of my favorite shapes and I really like this one over all. The reverse taper on the shank was done really nicely.

Thank you very much.
Best regards.
