Smith House Smooth Contrast Nosewarmer Billiard with Ebonite & Ivorite (New)

Taking their name from architect Richard Meier’s avant-garde homestead just off the Long Island Sound, Smith House Pipes are the creation of New York artisan Rich Rosselli. Like the Danish-American functionalists before him, Rosselli excels at creating modernized renditions of tried-and-true, traditional, Anglo-French staples. This he combines with novel uses of color and ornamentation, giving Smith House Pipes their acclaimed, signature aesthetic.

Smith House pipes are typically shorter and slighter than the average contemporary briar, with a pronounced lean toward the design conventions of the early to mid-20th century. If you’re looking for something that could easily be stowed in a coat pocket when out and about, however, Rosselli’s nosewarmer-length works make for an even more compact and practical smoking instrument, without sacrificing on chamber capacity or visual appeal. This Smith House billiard is a decidedly stout and stubby one, for example, but with a bowl that won’t constantly require a refill, and with a rare, smooth finish highlighting beautiful, contrast-lit straight grain covering its exterior.
