Smooth Billiard (25) Tobacco Pipe

Greek artisan Chris Asteriou began crafting pipes in 2007, drawing on his background in industrial design and architecture. Asteriou's designs draw from a range of influences, from classic Anglo-French traditions to the unique Freehands of Danish pipe making. Each Asteriou pipe exemplifies superior craftsmanship, marked by precise engineering and meticulous attention to detail.

It has been quite some time since we last received a smooth Billiard from Asteriou, and this particular rendition was well worth the wait. The first thing that captures the eye is the impeccable grain: beautiful swirls of birdseye adorn the bowl's flanks, while the front and back display elegant tendrils of cross grain. The profile highlights Asteriou's talent for interpreting Anglo-French classics, and this Billiard offers the clean lines and satisfying proportions that define his work. Overall, it's a lightweight design that doesn't sacrifice chamber depth, making it a versatile and rewarding addition to any collection.
