Rind Bent Billiard (2025) Tobacco Pipe

Luigi Radice worked in the prestigious Castello workshop before founding the Caminetto brand with Giuseppe "Peppino" Ascorti in the late 1960s. In 1980, Radice began producing his self-titled brand of pipes with his son, Gianluca, and father, Paolo. The brand pays heavy attention to the briar that goes into each pipe, seasoning it for three years before production.

Radice's pursuit of excellence is put on grand display in this bent Billiard dressed in the marque's rusticated Rind finish, which feels true to its name with an organic texture that feels soft to the touch. The bowl's walls are muscular and tall at just under two inches high, perfectly proportioned for long periods in the hand. Maintaining a touch of sleekness, the shank is straight from beginning to end, yet it seamlessly flows into the very gentle bend of the stem.
