Crown Monarch Brown Sandblast

If you're looking for a pipe that looks and smokes like a much more expensive one, take a good look at the Crown Monarch Pipes.

These Italian briars are all bent pipes with classic inset black vulcanite stems and bright metal shank caps, similar to the look of the now-discontinued Wellington pipes. But these pipes have superior engineering to the Wellingtons and the shank caps are fully integrated rather than just being crimped onto the end of the shank. They come with a nicely detailed sandblast, finished in a rich brown stain. In spite of all of the advantages over the older pipes, these handsome Crown Monarch pipes sell for about the same price as the discontinued brand. Now you can get a stylish, well-made pipe at a budget-friendly price thanks to the folks at Crown.
