Rossi: Free Blue Rusticated Bent Billiard (6mm) Tobacco Pipe

Rossi's Free series presents pipes that don't conform to the Italian marque's standard shape chart, resulting in more distinctive, individualized designs. A fine example of the series, this bent Billiard features a tall, thick-walled bowl that rises at the fore of a gently bent shank-and-stem arrangement. The slender build of the shank and stem keeps the overall form lightweight and focuses most of the composition's visual weight at the brawny bowl, a common design cue in Italian pipe making. A striking black and blue rustication dresses the stummel and provides plenty of tactile feedback for the fingers to explore.
