Custombilt Rusticated Bullcap Estate Briar Pipe, American Estates

Description

Custom-Bilt (later, as in this case, Custombilt) pipes were originally created in the early 20th century by Tracy Mincer, an American pipe-maker. Later adopting the slogan, ‘As Individual as a Thumbprint,’ Custom-Bilts were each rusticated by hand, giving them their signature rugged look, and ensuring that no two Custom-Bilts were exactly alike. Today, these pipes are prized by collectors, pipe history enthusiasts, and those who generally appreciate a well-made smoking machine.

Custombilt pipes are well known for their stout, squat designs, but this one really does take the cake. With its similarly ample chamber, it should handle ribbon cuts and mixtures (especially English blends) like a champ.

The condition is fair. Some inner rim charring and handling marks.
