Carved Bent Billiard (Club Special) Tobacco Pipe

Though Musico is an Italian marque, their pipes tend to hew closer to the Anglo-French carving style, though occasionally deviating with small, whimsical touches here and there. With its dimpled, wave-like carved finish, this bent Billiard certainly falls on the more whimsical side of the marque's portfolio. In terms of shaping, it's rather sleek and uncomplicated, with a tubular bowl poised proudly at the fore of a slender, low-set shank-and-stem arrangement. The finish is the star of the show, its undulating texture like ripples undulating through the briar. To take a medium as dense and solid as briar and lend it such a fluid appearance while still maintaining the integrity of the pipe's overall form is truly an impressive feat, and one that will make this bent Billiard a remarkable addition to any pipe collection.
