Smooth Billiard (CCC) Tobacco Pipe

Italian artisan Claudio Cavicchi boasts over 50 years of pipe-making experience and possesses an uncanny talent for bringing out the very best from a block of briar. His portfolio is full of evocative interpretations of classic shapes, and he is known by many artisans to have some of the best grain in the world, with even his non-graded pipes rivaling the top-tier pieces of other workshops. Having received a commendable three-C grade, this Billiard is a lovely offering from the seasoned artisan.

This Billiard is a fine example of the Italian neoclassical style, with a substantial, attention-grabbing bowl paired to a low-profile shank-and-stem arrangement. The low-set transition and swiftly tapering stem maintain the focus on the muscular bowl, which offers ample room for a favorite tobacco blend. Dressed in Cavicchi's signature smooth, honey-blonde finish, the stummel showcases a wealth of hearty flame grain and birdseye, all complemented by the light and dark striations of the stem's horn-like acrylic.
