Northern Briars Rox Cut Premier Billiard (4) (2021) Tobacco Pipe

A straightforward rendition of the most classic shape in pipe making, this Billiard from Northern Briars is rusticated for a lightly craggy touch to the fingertips that signals a generous undertaking to make sure this piece was ready for the market. The walls of the bowl are arrow-straight even for a Billiard and backed by a round shank of similar rustication all the way back to the junction. The stem is tapered cumberland, stretching this piece to nearly six inches in total length. Substantial in size and texture, it's a great specimen of English craftsmanship.
