Pipe Tristan: Difference between revisions

A feature of Tristan pipes not common to Italian pipes is Lefebvre's use of color. Lefebvre is one of a number of artisans who, in recent years, have employed unorthodox color combinations in their work, breaking away from the brown-black and blonde-black preferences common to the Danish and Italian artisan scenes. Like Rich Rosselli's Smith House Pipes, Xin Li, or Michele Brentegani, Tristan pipes also tend to opt for color schemes that are warmer and more playful than many of their contemporaries, while at the same time remaining subtle and avoiding flamboyance. In the case of Pipe Tristan, this is often achieved by pairing a simple, monotone SEM resin or amberoid acrylic stem with a naked or, conversely, onyx-black stummel.
