Musico: Sandblasted Bent Billiard with Bamboo (Floodlight) Tobacco Pipe

The story of the Musico workshop began with Giorgio Musico, who frequently bought pipes from Italian pipe maker Fritz Becker. Their sons, Massimo Musico and Paolo Becker, would go on to found the Becker & Musico workshop, which primarily crafted classic pipe shapes. Eventually, the two went their separate ways, with Massimo Musico continuing to pursue a traditional aesthetic. This bent Billiard by Musico is an impressive, Stack-like design, complete with a towering, deep-chambered bowl. Said bowl is positioned at the fore of an upturned shank and a demurely curved tapered stem, the latter of which is joined to the former by two knuckles of vibrant bamboo. Dressing this piece is a dark sandblast that highlights healthy grain across the briar's surface.
