About This Pipe

Though one of the most established pipe shapes out there, Max Rimensi of Il Duca has really put his own spin on the classic Billiard here, lending the transition a fair bit of sweep with a long, reaching gesture through the shank and stem. Likewise, he's lent the bowl a touch more visual weight as well, setting the waistline quite low with a subtle, soft taper up to the rim. All in all, it's a much smoother, more elegant take on the form compared to the shape-chart standard — fittingly finished here in a soft, blonde sandblast and topped with a finely patterned cumberland mouthpiece.
