Italian Estates: Caminetto Business Billiard (136) Tobacco Pipe

Getting their start at Castello, Giuseppe Ascorti and Luigi Radice established Caminetto during the late 1960s, determined to forge their own path in the industry. Today, Caminetto's legacy continues, the brand's unique style being instrumental in the development of recognizable Italian pipe design. A handsome showcase of the marque's shaping style, this hearty Billiard from Caminetto exudes a bold character, featuring a robust bowl standing at the fore with an upright posture, its walls rising straight from the firm heel toward the flat rim. A stocky shank transitions from the bowl and flares to a craggy face, where it joins to a demurely downturned offset saddle stem, the latter of which promotes a comfortable smoking posture. The stem's shimmering, toffee-hued acrylic handsomely complements the stummel, which wears a warm, rugged rustication courtesy of Caminetto's Business finish, with the fumed rim offering a touch of contrast.
