Description

Caminetto UNSMOKED COLOSSAL Stack Bent Billiard (O.L.11)/ 360 Flame Grain/ Box & Sleeve/ Handmade Italy
Tall and bold, this bent Stack Billiard from Caminetto offers over two inches of chamber depth and 15/16
th
inches of diameter within its towering bowl. A plump, sweeping heel and shank affords a satisfying feel in hand, while a gently downturned stem trail out behind, accented in plenty of Sterling Silver. Unsmoked, it awaits its maiden voyage, and a sweet voyage it should be, for the vertical grain orientation is a sure sign of a sweet and dry smoking instrument. Draft hole is dead center flush with the bottom of the chamber. Pipe features a beautifully unrestricted draw. Pipe does not accept a filter. Pipe weighs
2 – ½ ounces (71 grams)
No fills. No handling marks. Comes with original Caminetto presentation box and sleeve, as shown.
Regarding graining, the well-respected authority on the subject, Carl Ehwa, in his landmark book, Pipes & Tobaccos, writes:
“When selecting briar pipes, quality of wood and workmanship and the type of graining are the prime considerations. Pipes made of dense, straight grain wood …
have a tendency to absorb moisture much more slowly, which means they will smoke more sweetly and need to be rested less often. The bird's–eye, or end grain at the bottom of the bowl of a straight grain pipe absorbs moisture more quickly than other grains. Yet, because of its position, it allows the moisture to drain away from the tobacco and the channel, thus keeping the smoke dry.” ~ Pg 128
