Radice: Silk Cut Pure Bent Billiard Tobacco Pipe

After working at Castello and Caminetto, Luigi Radice founded Radice and began carving pipes with his sons. Radice has since become one of the most recognizable and influential pipe brands in Italy. They offer high-quality smoking instruments marked by bold, Italian neoclassical proportions and distinctive finishes, with this bent Billiard being a prime example of the workshop's style. Shape-wise, this piece boasts a tall, thick-walled bowl that stands at the fore of a high-kicking shank and a demurely curved tapered stem. Said bowl houses a capacious chamber within its muscular frame, ensuring plenty of long, leisurely smoking sessions, which the vaulted shank and stem will deftly aid. Dressed in the crisp Silk Cut sandblast, the virgin stummel offers a wealth of tactile detail, and it will develop patina as the pipe is smoked and enjoyed.
