Musico: Smooth Bent Billiard with Bamboo (Set Special) Tobacco Pipe

Showing the marque's Italian neoclassical side, this bent Billiard from Musico is a more bowl-centric piece than is typically seen among their traditionally-inclined portfolio. A tall, upright bowl stands at the fore, its walls rising from the rounded heel and curving slightly toward the flat rim. Out back is a slender, compact shank that gently lifts to meet a two-knuckle expanse of bamboo, which both adds an organic touch to the composition and keeps this pipe at a light, comfortable weight. From there, the bamboo extension accepts a demurely downturned tapered stem with a fishtail-style bit, the overall arrangement promoting a relaxed clench between the teeth. Contrasting the bamboo's pale complexion, the stummel wears a rich, mahogany stain that showcases healthy grain all throughout.
