To you aficionados of the
large pipe, consider this one carefully. Its overall dimensions are generous
and well suited for long satisfactory smokes.
Notwithstanding its medium grading
allocation, it has an appreciable straight grain all around the bowl as
an evidence of the well centred ebauchon from which it was skilfully carved.
The size G grading was allocated
to this pipe because the GG (double G) had not yet been introduced.
Those features and the outstanding
condition of this pipe represent a rare opportunity and I suggest that
fellow smokers/collectors give it their utmost attention.
As usual, pipe has been accurately
cleaned, but contrary to my habit the carbon cake coming from the British
blends, has not been totally removed, leaving this pleasure to the new
owner. Naturally, I’m ready to complete the adjustment upon your request.
