English Estates: Royal Castle Smooth Billiard Tobacco Pipe

This Billiard by Royal Castle is a sleek design that sees a plump, full-bodied bowl standing at the fore of a trim, arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement. A slightly lifted heel marks the start of the bowl's steady, arcing flare, which lends the form's chamber walls a supple curvature that conforms naturally to the hand. The shank-and-stem arrangement keeps the shape looking reserved in profile, its subtle taper from transition to bit slenderizing the composition's aft while maintaining proportional balance with the bowl. A smoky smooth finish completes the ensemble and highlights healthy grain throughout the stummel.
