In overall length, BriarWorks' "C12" bent Billiard is surprisingly compact, given its bowl rivals those of many Group 5-sized pipes. It also remains beautifully sinuous in its abbreviated form, doing well to balance the hearty bowl and making it an ideal choice for those desiring a long-smoking pipe with travel-friendly proportions. Furthermore, this example wears a ruddy stain and rugged sandblast, which will hide any handling marks it might pick up during your travels.
