Italian Estates: Musico Smooth Bent Billiard with Bamboo (Set Special) Tobacco Pipe

This bowl-centric offering from Musico shows the versatility of the Italian workshop and is a departure from its tendency toward classic shaping. Proportionally, the rather cylindrical bowl offers a Stack-like chamber depth, with a low-set transition accentuating that height. The pencil-thin, much-abbreviated shank is extended by three knuckles of bamboo, the pale material providing contrast to the dark, fishtail-style vulcanite stem. The stummel is wearing a dark auburn stain, highlighting the briar's natural grain.
