Michel Smooth Author Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Description

Michel pipes were store-brand pipes made for Maison Michel, a North Carolina (USA) tobacconist run by Michel J. Mitchell between 1951 and 1980. Over the years, several prominent pipe-makers made pipes for Maison Michel, such as Charatan, Barling, and others.

This particular Michel is a compact and relatively lightweight author shape. Perfect for shorter smokes, or puffing on the go.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. There is a very small nick on the front of the bowl, but this may simply be a worn out fill. Nothing major in any case.
