Rind Billiard (GG) (2026) Tobacco Pipe

One of the most recognizable marques in Italy today, the Radice workshop was founded in 1980 when Luigi Radice decided to embark on a new pipe-making journey alongside his two sons, Gianluca and Marzio. Previously, Luigi made pipes for Castello, and before that, Caminetto. Under his new namesake brand, he offered high-quality pipes carved in the unmistakable Italian neoclassical style. He experimented with innovative new designs, new rusticating and carving styles, and curing methods — many of which are still utilized by the marque to this day.

This "GG"-stamped Billiard from Radice is a thoroughly hearty, Italian neoclassical take on the traditional shape. Dressed in a deep, smoky version of Radice's Rind rustication save for the smooth, light-stained rim, the stummel boasts a wealth of craggy texture stretched across the briar's ample surface area. A stable Sitter with a cavernous tobacco chamber over two inches deep, this striking Billiard is sure to make a fine desk pipe.
