Fat Bob Brebbia’s 2111 straight billiard takes the classic design and adds bulk, creating a reassuringly solid feel in the hand. The thick, square-set walls of the bowl give the pipe a bold profile and, more importantly, a cool, steady smoke.
This “Selected” grade is finished with a natural polish that highlights the quiet warmth of the briar. The grain shimmers beneath the surface, never gaudy, just honest wood brought to a fine shine. The chamber is generous, accommodating a folded flake or a loose ribbon without compromising on comfort.
Brebbia has been crafting pipes in Lake Varese since the early fifties, and their Fat Bob series has become a signature. Playful in name, these pipes are built with the care and substance that seasoned smokers appreciate. The 2111 straight billiard demonstrates that a pipe can be both bold in form and dependable in function—a true workhorse with a touch of Italian character.
