Smooth Billiard with Horn Tobacco Pipe

Ouch. You know that discontent you feel when you see a perfect pipe that you can't have? That vaguely painful radiating heat that spreads through your extremities when a pipe truly sings to you, but it belongs to someone else? I don't know who will own this, but whoever you are, I'm jealous. Here's a Chonowitsch saddle Billiard with beautiful horn fitment and grain to make you question the balance of the universe. The proportions, size and configuration combine for a pipe beyond mortal expectations. The transition to the somewhat beefy shank is excellent, the curvature of the bowl perfect. The gently rounded rim and carefully shaped lip button are as expected for any Jess pipe, and everything in between lives up to those expectations.
