Italian Estates: Radice Clear Bulldog (G) (2009) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

A thoroughly Italian neoclassical take on the classic shape, this Bulldog by Radice boasts a towering, thick-walled bowl that overshadows the comparatively trim diamond shank and tapered stem. As one might expect form such a hearty design, the bowl houses a capacious chamber within its muscular frame, ensuring plenty of long, leisurely smoking sessions. Additionally, the bowl is accented with a pair of pronounced ridgeline, which additionally denote the plateau-crowned rim's steady upward. The warm, affable Clear finish dresses the stummel and highlights gorgeous grain across the bowl and shank alike.
