The Chris Askwith Rustic Army Billiard is a striking fusion of traditional form and contemporary craftsmanship. Rooted in classic English pipe-making, this billiard showcases a deep, rugged sandblast that accentuates the natural grain of the briar, offering both visual intrigue and a textured grip. The stout, well-proportioned bowl provides ample chamber space, making it a reliable choice for a long, enjoyable smoke.
One of the defining features of this pipe is its acrylic army mount, finished in a rich, marbled blue. This not only adds a touch of modern elegance but also allows for effortless stem removal, even while the pipe is still warm—an invaluable feature for those who appreciate practical design. The hand-cut stem ensures a comfortable draw, while the sturdy build makes this a dependable companion for daily use.
For those who admire a classic billiard with a bit of contemporary flair, the Askwith Rustic Army Billiard is a refined, handcrafted piece that bridges tradition and modernity with effortless style.
