Italian Estates: Jacono Partially Rusticated Billiard (Bishop) (Replacement Tenon) Tobacco Pipe

On the larger end of Tonino Jacono's shaping spectrum, this Billiard shape is a robust pipe of neoclassical proportions, and it's finished here in a combination of warm, smooth polish and craggy rusticated texture. The rustication dresses the sleek, tapering shank, its build enhancing the lines of the tapered stem and keeping the aft of the pipe looking svelte. Up front the bowl sits, forward canting, atop a rounded heel and takes on a gentle taper to the rim, working in concert with the wide transition to provide a comfortable feel in hand.
