Excellent shaping is something not constrained to symmetry or precise measurements; this is something Peder Jeppesen seems to understand well. This high-contrast black-and-olive bent billiard is a fine example thereof. It fills the hand perfectly, softly, solidly; its aesthetics are all smooth curves possessing a compact grace. All in all, holding this pipe is not unlike petting a finely bred bull-terrier.
