Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Dark Sandblasted Diplomat 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 diplomat, or banker, shape, dressed in Sasieni’s Ruff Root (sandblast) Dark (burgundy stain) finish. Reserved, elegant, lightweight. A great ring grain blast on this one, too.

The condition is good. Some darkening and char on the rim, and minor finish fading.
