Canadian by Sasieni XL Sandblasted Canadian Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates

Description

Sasieni always had particularly exacting standards for its pipes, even within the English pipe scene, so when a bowl was found to have even the tiniest, superficial imperfection, the bowl would be used for one of Sasieni’s many sub-brands. This pipe is one such example.

While with many Sasieni sub-brands it is relatively easy to identify the equivalent Four Dot model that the pipe was once destined to be, Sasieni’s Canadian is something of a mystery to me. As can be seen just from the photos here, it is a really long Canadian shape—far longer, in fact, than Sasieni’s typical Four Dot Canadian model, the Amesbury. As such, it is a far more unique Sasieni pipe than just about any other. This one has a wonderfully deep sandblast, and despite its extraordinary size, it weighs under an ounce.

The condition is fair. The finish is quite worn and the top of the chamber is slightly out of round, but it’s still one heck of a pipe, especially for English pipe enthusiasts.
