Walnut Bent Billiard (L1) Tobacco Pipe

In the greater Italian school, and particularly the Pesaro style, one sometimes finds a very curious, and quite unmistakable form of Dublin, which sports the classic taper in the upper bowl, but a broad, heavy-heeled lower portion. This Ser Jacopo has borrowed from that singular variant of the Dublin, but toned down the cinching towards the center of the bowl to the point that the resulting shape comes off as more of a Billiard than anything else - and a big, lively one at that.
