Musico: Smooth Bent Billiard with Silver (Club) 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 boasts an Oom Paul-like build, offering a hefty bowl that's closely aligned with a vertically inclined shank-and-stem arrangement. The shank and stem are joined via a silver mount that adds durability to the ensemble, as well as a touch of flash to the overall composition. The shank and stem themselves promote a comfortable smoking posture and provide a pronounced gesture to the shape's silhouette, all while balancing the muscular, full-bodied bowl. Dressing this piece is a warm smooth finish that highlights healthy grain throughout the stummel.
