Brown Sandblasted Bent Billiard Tobacco Pipe

With over 50 years of experience in making pipes, Claudio Cavicchi has become an expert in the craft with a renowned ability to showcase the best possible grain of each block of briar he uses. This sandblasted bent Billiard from Cavicchi is a fine example of his stellar craftsmanship. Lifting up from a tight transition, the shank terminates at a height that brings it almost level with the upright bowl's rim. The bowl is rounder than that of your average Anglo-French Billiard, contributing continuity in inflection to a sweeping curve that underscores the totality of the pipe's shape, winding from the bowl's fore rim, across the shank, and through a smartly bent saddle stem. The expert execution of the stummel's ochre-hued sandblast highlights concentric circles of growth rings that, guided by faint striations of flame grain, flow around the Bowl's almost Egg-like curvature towards a smooth, red-stained rim.
