An unusual amalgamation of Rhodesian and Hawkbill, this Rinaldo Lithos briar presents quite a big and bold bit of shaping, with a massive, thick-walled bowl paired to a thick, aquiline shank. It proves pretty tame in hand, however, substantial yet comfortable, and no doubt the thick chamber walls will keep the warmth from a good smoke pleasingly mellow.
