English Estates: Commodore Sandblasted Billiard Tobacco Pipe

This Billiard from Commodore is a handsome take on the classic shape, with a very bowl-forward sense of proportion that sees much of its substance focused on the fore. This manifests as impressively thick, tall walls that rise to a flat rim, acting as a large canvas for the stummel's crisp, earthy sandblast. A wide transition out back gives way to a trim shank paired with a sleekly tapering stem of black acrylic, this rather slender combination placing further visual weight on the bowl. The stummel's sandblast unveils some truly handsome grain, with densely stacked ring grain flowing down the walls of the bowl and birdseye at the rim and underside.
