Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Dark 7 Sandblasted Dublin Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates

Description

Along with names like Barling, Charatan, and Dunhill Sasieni holds a special place in the history of English smoking pipes – one near to its very beginnings. So the story goes, Sasieni himself worked for Dunhill during its early days. But eventually he left Dunhill, having his own ideas about how pipes should be made, and founded Sasieni. This was 1919, and Sasieni has been the closest thing to a household name in English pipes ever since.

This particular Sasieni is from the make’s renowned 4 Dot series. It’s a classic, quarter-bent Dublin shape, with a beautiful ring grain sandblast and a dark brown stain. The pipe is incredibly lightweight, making it an ideal clencher.

The condition is fair. There’s certainly rim darkening, and some char at the back lip.
