Mastro Geppetto: Rusticato Bent Billiard Tobacco Pipe

The bent Billiard from Mastro Geppetto is a fairly straightforward interpretation of the shape-chart standard, with a tall, plump bowl posed at the fore of a high-kicking shank-and-stem arrangement. The shank-and-stem arrangement curls out back and strikes a fluid S-curve that encourages a comfortable smoking posture, while the bowl houses a considerable chamber capacity within its thick insulating walls. It's all dressed in a ruby-hued rendition of the Rusticato finish, which covers the briar in a stimulating, finger-pleasing texture, save for the rim and nomenclature panel left smooth for contrast.
