Italian Estates: Rossi Piccolo Billiard Tobacco Pipe

While not stamped as such, this Billiard strongly resembles Rossi's "8105". The Italian marque's trimmest Billiard design, its svelte proportions and streamlined shaping is reminiscent of classic French renditions and corresponding to Savinelli's "105" Billiard. It features a slender, arrow straight shank-and-stem configuration paired to a bowl that's around a Group 2 in size, offering a lightweight appeal and catering to those who prefer diminutive, traditionally inclined pipes.

The Italian tradition of pipe making has never lacked in regards to substantial pipes, and the shape charts of Rossi and Savinelli are considerably saturated with KS- and EX-sized briars that don't disappoint when it comes to palm-filling presence. However, not everyone desires hearty, larger forms, so Rossi presents the Piccolo line — a series devoted to petite Savinelli shapes now offered by Rossi. Dressed in the same rugged rustication as the Vittoria finish, the Piccolo series rounds out Rossi's portfolio, ensuring that Rossi pipes cater to all preferences.
