Custombilt Bent Rusticated Billiard with Diamond Shank Estate Pipe

With its trademark and unique carved finish, this Custombilt bent billiard estate pipe was likely turned in Italy before being finished in America and owes its rusticated finish to Tracy Mincer, who successfully developed the technique.  No two pipes from the American brand will ever look the same and this diamond shank briar is more complicated than most in the series.  There is some minor wear and darkening at the very inner rim but this bent clencher is in outstanding condition and has a smooth, open draw to support such a cavernous chamber protected by the thick wall construction.
