Radice: Silk Cut Billiard with Silver Tobacco Pipe

The Radice workshop has been impressing pipe smokers with signature, innovative engineering, finishes, and designs since 1980, when Luigi founded the company. Prior to that, he helped establish the Caminetto brand and was a carver at Castello for a number of years. More than 40-years later, he and his sons Gianluca and Marzio continue to astound with their remarkable pieces, such as this compact Billiard. The stout bowl features a generous chamber surrounded by thick walls, while the muscularity continues through the thick transition and gradually tapering shank. Pleasantly proportional, this stocky Nosewarmer is dressed in the extra-dark version of the Silk Cut sandblast, with a handsome, silver accent band adorning the shank end for a gentrified color palette.
