marTelo: Smooth Liverpool Tobacco Pipe

Out of the several Billiard-family shapes presented in this, our first batch of Martelo pipes, this Liverpool I would say is the stockiest. That's not to say it actually is stocky by any stretch, but here Gustavo did go with a shorter overall length, and just a very slight bit more substance, relative to the other proportions, for transition, shank, and stem. I'd say it was the right choice, and shows a keen eye for how changing one measurement (here, length) calls for a keen eye to spot what else might need be altered, however subtly, to produce an ideally balanced aesthetic result.

Or to put it another way, I can't picture this Liverpool shape getting any better. Gustavo nailed it.
