While it might seem like there are now more craft pipes than you can shake a stick at, Pigeon Toe Ceramics' actual Stick Pipe is a keeper. In true Oregonian fashion, the beautiful piece is cast in tinted buff speckle stoneware from "driftwood found on the Oregon coast.”

It may not be hard to make a pipe beautiful (just look at Tetra, or Summerland, or The Pursuits of Happiness), but it’s rare for piece to feel so completely new. The clean, geometric lines of Laundry Day’s Tanjune are as satisfying to look at as they are to hold, and would fit in nicely just about anywhere.

It’s a question we’ve asked ourselves for years, at the tail-end of dinner parties that stretch late into the night and on lazy Sunday afternoons when The Mummy inevitably appears on some channel: Whatever happened to Brendan Fraser? The answer is much more complicated than anyone would’ve guessed.
