More Details |
These pipes were made in a French factory in the seventies or eighties and were unfinished. A few years ago, one of our vendors found them in his warehouse and offered them to us. We then asked our resident pipe restorer and the maker of Gabrieli Pipes, Dan Chlebove, to finish them and he did his usual outstanding job.
For this Unsmoked XL University Straight Billiard, Dan chose a chestnut-colored stain and finished it in a nice gloss. This is a large pipe with a deep chamber and it has a comfortable black vulcanite stem. If you're looking for a pipe that will, on average, smoke for well over an hour fully-packed, and won't break the bank, pick this one up.
