Smith House Vintage Sandblasted Nosewarmer Billiard w/ Ox Horn Handmade Briar Pipe, New

Description

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.

Rich Rosselli’s pipes tend to be rather compact in stature, but his nosewarmer renditions take this aspect even further than usual. In the case of this one, it’s an unconventionally stout take on a stubby billiard, almost like the old Dunhill “305,” but with even more muscle to it. In keeping with Rosselli’s general style, this one features a fittingly thick ox horn ferrule to complement its broad bowl, the Smith House deep burgundy “Vintage” partial sandblast, and a hand-cut ebonite mouthpiece.
