Radice: Clear Billiard (G) Tobacco Pipe

A unique take on the straight Billiard from Radice, this pipe presents with a striking combination of shank and stem whose slender outline further reinforces the presence of the bowl. A wide transition gives way to a tapering shank, its sleek diminution met by a similarly tapering stem of jet-black acrylic, the pair extending the reach of this composition while keeping the weight rather light. Up front, the bowl stands atop a firm heel and grows tall, gently tapering walls up to a flat rim, the aforementioned taper making for a comfortable feel in hand. Dressed in the workshop's Clear finish, the stummel here showcases a wealth of windswept flame grain from beneath its warm, honey-auburn stain, with birdseye swirling at the rim and heel.
