Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root 6 Sandblasted Diplomat Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

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.

I’m not sure I can remember when Sasieni pipes were last made, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a couple of unsmoked 4 Dots land on my desk. This one is a quintessentially English diplomat, or banker, shape, with plenty of crisp ring grain underneath its reserved, near-black stain.

As mentioned, this Sasieni is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It also comes with its original box and sleeve.
