Castello: Old Antiquari Paneled Bent Billiard (KKKK) Tobacco Pipe

A striking design from Castello, this bent Billiard balances a tall, paneled bowl at the end of a tapering shank-and-stem arrangement. The gradual diminishing of the shank and stem keeps most of the pipe's visual weight anchored at the fore, lending the bowl and its geometric build prominence in profile. The mouthpiece makes a gentle downturn to create a comfortable smoking posture, while the firm, structural lines of the bowl add a touch of muscularity to the otherwise slender shape. The dark Old Antiquari sandblast dresses the stummel and brings vivid definition to the natural grain orientation of the briar.
