Rind Billiard (2025) Tobacco Pipe

This Radice offering is a quintessential example of the Italian approach to pipe making: taking classic shapes and dramatizing their proportions, with the bowl often garnering much of the attention. Here, this towering Billiard features a broad, firm heel underneath that subtly tapers up toward the rim and seems to merge the Stack and Brandy shapes in its execution. The consistent taper from transition to button makes for quite the sleek profile while also posturing the visual weight toward the deep-chambered bowl. The shape itself fits superbly in hand, accentuated by the Rind finish's craggy rustication. For those that love texture and plenty of chamber, this isn't one to pass on.
