Musico: Smooth Bent Billiard with Silver (Set) Tobacco Pipe

Musico's shaping style generally gravitates toward traditional renderings of shape chart standards. This bent Billiard, however, is crafted with neoclassic design cues, though a bit conservatively when compared to other Italian pipe makers. The tall, full-bodied bowl displays a gentle taper toward the rim and houses an impressive chamber depth within thick, protective walls, dominating the profile. Out back, a svelte shank and stem taper toward the bit, which subtly turns downward, providing support. The stummel is wearing a warm, auburn stain that does well to highlight a handsome mix of birdseye and cross grain, with a thin silver ring adding a dash of flash to the composition.
