Sandblasted Bent Billiard (Four Clubs) Tobacco Pipe

This isn't the first big sandblasted Billiard we've seen from Becker. I'm not surprised that he continues to make these; they are rather awesome and everyone seems to know it. Now, we all know big is not necessarily better, but Becker's keen sense of proportions hold this shape together handsomely. From the bowl to the shank, the composition tapers, yet by retaining some height on the shank, and pinching in the sides some, the profile feels both balanced and slender for its size. Delightful.
