Italian briar in a practical bent billiard

Molina builds the Ambra X16 around the familiar proportions of a bent billiard. The curved shank and stem give the pipe a traditional silhouette, while the sandblast provides texture across the briar bowl. An acrylic stem completes the design.

The chamber measures 20 mm across and 37 mm deep. Overall length is 136 mm, with a weight of 42 grams. These dimensions place the X16 in a versatile range for everyday pipe smoking without reducing it to a compact design.

This version accepts a 9mm filter. Molina recently renamed the shape from 100 to X16 without changing the model itself. Depending on when an individual pipe was produced, its stamping may show either designation.
