Rind Bent Billiard (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 oil curing. Part of Radice's Rind lineup, this bent Billiard showcases several of the aforementioned techniques, which are still used by the marque to this day.

Pairing a hearty, subtly tapered bowl to a lengthy shank and tapered stem, this bent Billiard exudes Italian neoclassical style. The shank-and-stem arrangement exhibits a subtle downturn faintly resembling that of a Hawkbill, and the bowl houses a generously sized chamber. Save for the smooth, lightly stained rim, the stummel wears a dark, smoldering iteration of Radice's craggy Rind rustication, which offers endless tactile appeal and exudes plenty of rugged charm.
