Ser Jacopo: Rusticated Billiard (R1) (A) (Maxima) Tobacco Pipe

As is typical for pipes that bear Ser Jacopo's "Maxima" stamp, this Billiard is a robust and hearty interpretation of the shape chart standard, and it pairs a tall, stout bowl to a tapering length of shank that's paired here to a sleek saddle stem. The bowl houses a healthy chamber capacity within thick, insulating walls while offering plenty of palm-filling substance. The overall proportions are neoclassical in appearance, with the towering bowl holding most of the visual weight within the composition and overshadowing the comparatively trim shank and stem. The stummel wears an earthy rustication that's sure to delight the fingers with its wealth of texture, while the nomenclature panel and a band at the shank end are left smooth and lightly stained for contrast.
