Mark Tinsky: Mocha Bent Billiard (6) (Four Star) Tobacco Pipe

Mark Tinsky has quite the storied history in American pipe making, founding the American Smoking Pipe Co. in 1978 and maintaining a consistent output for the over four decades that have elapsed since then. Tinsky lives in Montana and spends his days fly fishing and making pipes, bringing his many years of experience in the craft to every shape he fashions. He boasts a rather diverse portfolio, offering a wide range of shapes in a variety of unique finishes. Tinsky is also well known for his accenting work, incorporating everything from hardwoods to metals into his compositions. A fine showcase of Tinsky's style, this bent Billiard boasts a muscular, thick-walled bowl that's paired to a sturdy shank and a demurely curved tapered stem. It's dressed in the smoky Mocha smooth finish, which highlights striking flame grain across the bowl's flanks.
