Ardor: Marte Bent Billiard Tobacco Pipe

Boasting a family pipe-making history that dates back well more than a century, the Rovera brothers of Ardor present a stout, yet voluptuous take on the bent Billiard, the tall, supple bowl taking on an Egg-like demeanor, and its rim angling downward from the fore for a bit of playfulness. It's paired to a triangular shank and is able to sit sturdily upright thanks to the paneled underside. The carvers have dressed this piece in the smooth, vibrant contrast stain of the Marte finish, which does well to showcase the briar's grain patterns, while a fetching accent at the base of the complementing acrylic stem adds further flourish.
