Genod: Smooth Bright Billiard with Horn Tobacco Pipe

A charmingly classic take on the straight Billiard, this piece from French marque Genod presents with a proud, tall bowl, boasting a capacious chamber within its walls. Said bowl is delightfully forward canted, resting itself on a firm heel and balanced by a sleek length of shank and stem. This shank additionally benefits from a subtle taper throughout, matching that of the horn stem and slenderizing the entire aft of the pipe quite nicely, with the stem itself hearkening back to vintage Anglo-French pipes. Dressed in a vivid stain, appropriate for its "Bright" designation, the stummel reveals some lovely licks of flame grain on all sides, especially around the bowl, and its hues match quite well with the natural color of the horn stem.
