Unsmoked XL University Straight Billiard

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. 

This Unsmoked XL University Straight Billiard has a stain that is a bit more red than most of the pipes from this group. It's a substantial briar made with well-aged wood and comes with a black vulcanite stem. For anyone who likes large, classically-styled pipes but is looking for a bargain, this is it.
