Claudio Cavicchi: Brown Sandblasted Billiard with Bamboo Tobacco Pipe

Claudio Cavicchi often forgoes utilizing alternative mediums as accenting materials on his pipes, allowing the superlative grain and expert engineering of each piece to stand out. On this Billiard the Italian artisan has implemented bamboo not only as an accent but to extend the shank's length before meeting the sleek saddle stem out back. The medium's pale color stands out in stark contrast against the jet-black acrylic mouthpiece but beautifully complements the stummel's brown sandblast. The forward-leaning bowl still presents gorgeous ring grain as defined by the 'blast, with a smooth rim lending contrast.
