Short and handy of length, firm and robust of form, this is a masculine fireplug of a pipe, of good proportions for combining a full, flavorful smoke with a design that will still tuck into a jacket pocket. As already hinted at, the drilling of the chamber accentuates its breadth, though the depth is still about on par with that of your average-sized traditional Billiard. The finish is simple, dark, and understated as far as color goes, yet the sandblast brings out the briar's tight, frenetic ring grain very crisply.
