Crown Rustic

Crown Rustic pipes are Italian-made briars with a handsome rustication covering the stummel, except for a polished, smooth are near the rim and on the shank. The rusticated areas are finished in jet black and the smooth spots feature a chestnut-colored stain. The carving gives these average-sized briars a nice hand-feel, and at this amazingly low price, you can pick a few out of the wide range of shapes and not do much damage to your budget.
