Dieses shape scheint aufgrund seiner Häufigkeit so eine "Lieblingsshape" zu sein.

Tsuge: Ikebana Smooth Bent Brandy (F)

Zitat:

"Classics like this one are something we don't see terribly frequently from Tsuge. I'm always surprised when I see a straight billiard Tsuge Ikebana; yes, it's beautifully executed, but it's just not what I expect. The same holds here, though perhaps to a lesser degree, with this elegantly shaped and proportioned bent brandy. Excellent grain on both sides of the bowl and shank terminates into great birdseye on the bottom of the bowl and shank. The stem is unmistakable Tsuge, of course, from the slightly flaring saddle to the degree of bend in the stem relative to the bend in the shank. A beautiful pipe, and a real find for someone looking for a Tsuge Ikebana at the more classic end of the spectrum.

Tsuge: Ikebana Smooth Bent Dublin (C)

Zitat:
"I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this shape from Tsuge in their Ikebana line, and I've seen thousands of Ikebana pipes over the past nine years. The gentle transition from the shank to the bowl, something of an aesthetic hallmark for the Japanese firm, is just barely disrupted as the saddle of the stem comes to a point before gently tapering off towards the button, giving the pipe a finished-ness that it would otherwise very much lack. The grain is quite good, with nice flame grain running around the bowl and a good little field of birdseye on the rim.

Tsuge: Ikebana Smooth Horn (F)

Ziat:
"Though there are exceptions to every rule (and rarely more so when attempting to describe the habits of a Japanese pipe company) Tsuge tends to stay in the realm of two general shapes when it comes to the Ikebana Grade horn. This first is relatively thin, highly elongated and presents a far flatter arc than you will find with most other carvers. The second is much more compact and features a thick, "D" shaped body with a high degree of verticality. While (obviously) this stunning F Grade falls into the latter category, it is also decidedly different from the chubbier ancestors that I have run across. One of the most often seen co-signatures of the chubby Ikebana horn is a fissure of plateau splitting the center. This pipe trades the fissure in favor of an exquisitely nuanced implied movement, almost all of which is generated in the subtle undulation on the back panel. The "softness" of the back panel, when juxtaposed against some almost "Kent-like" edges, creates a marvelous sense of fascination.
