Ryan Alden: Smooth Natural Bent Billiard with Silver (King of Clubs) Tobacco Pipe

Product Number: 002-777-0148

While Texas-based artisan Ryan Alden tends to craft pipes that emulate the shape-chart standards of the old Anglo-French marques, this bent Billiard is a bit more Danish in execution, possessing a cheeked transition, a subtle curvature along the trim shank, and a bowl that tapers from the heel to the rim. The cheeking at the transition gives definition to the base of the bowl and draws attention to the aforementioned taper, while the subtle bend through the shank-and-stem arrangement lends balance to the overall form and provides some litheness to the shape's outline. The stummel wears a warm, natural smooth finish that accentuates the grain orientation of the briar and highlights fine birdseye on either flank of the bowl. An accent of silver at the shank end complements the totality of the composition, its bright shine mirroring the complexion of the stummel. Stylish, unique, and eye-catching, this piece exudes a charm that can't help but entice.
