Ryan Alden: Sandblasted Billiard with Silver (Queen of Hearts) Tobacco Pipe

Elegant classicism modified through the creative vision of Ryan Alden, this sandblasted Billiard is perhaps most characterized by its shapely mouthpiece emerging from the bright silver cap at the end of the shank in a coffee-hued taper. The stummel is all black except for a diminutive chamfer at the inner ring of the tobacco chamber on the rim, and is textured to a medium depth for ease of grip. Along the underside, a narrow, smooth panel positions itself for enough structure to permit this piece to sit upright on its own.
