Sandblasted Billiard with Mammoth (Two Leaf) Tobacco Pipe

Canadian artisan Michael Parks modernizes and elevates classic pipe-chart standards through his intricate shaping style, masterful finishing work, and keen eye for artistic flourishes. Not one to simply rely on the sheer aesthetics, Parks' pipes are also superbly engineered, designed to be refined smoking instruments that are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside.

A clean, streamlined take on the classic form, this Billiard boasts a visually and proportionally balanced build. Up front, a tall bowl stands atop a plump, ample heel and grows supple walls that taper ever-so-slightly to a smooth, rounded rim. A wide transition follows the bowl and marks the start of a long shank punctuated by trim saddle stem of black and gray vulcanite. The shank and stem join at a junction accent with mammoth. The warm mammoth adds a pop of color the pipe's otherwise muted palette and draws attention to the pipe's aft and the vibrant striations of the mouthpiece. A dark sandblast completes the ensemble and highlights gorgeous growth rings across the bowl's flanks.
