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.
This Unsmoked XL University Straight Billiard has a glossy chestnut-stained finish which was popular at the time these pipes were made, so Dan used the color to be faithful to this style of pipe. It has nice, thick walls, a deep chamber, and a comfortable black vulcanite stem. Pipes this size are usually rather expensive, so pick up this bargain while you can.
