Charatan’s Make Sandblasted Lumberman Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates

Description

While Dunhill may be Britain’s most famous pipe brand, Charatan is not only older, but has the honor of being the first to have made its pipes entirely in-house. ‘Charatan’s Make’ referred to the fact that, at a time when other pipe companies were sourcing stummels and stems carved from other companies before assembling them in their factories and workshops, Charatan made every part of their pipes on the Charatan premises. So began a legacy of high-quality pipe-making under the Charatan name, one whose employees, at one time or another, included Joel Sasieni, and Ken Barnes and Barry Jones of James Upshall fame.

Sometimes, you can’t beat the classics. This Charatan is an example of the make’s traditional lumberman shapes, dressed in a tan sandblast that shows off plenty of nice ring grain.

The condition is very good. The stem is a professional replacement, so the price has been adjusted to reflect this.
