Genod Pipe Bent Sandblast Billiard with Nickel

Large and a palm-friendly handful, this Genod bent billiard from France has a bit of bling in the form of a nickel shank cap to help balance the thick bowl and the fancy bent tapered stem.  There is no bowl coating but with such thick walls insulating the cylindrical and wide chamber, there really doesn't need to be.  The sandblast finish is tight though it still reveals plenty of natural character in the briar and the smooth, even draw is more than open enough to support the capacious bowl.
