Dr Plumb Tween Size 14 Smooth Dublin Estate Briar Pipe, French Estates

Description

You may not know it, but Dr Plumb is one of the oldest extant briar pipe makes, having been established all the way back in 1925. And, while the name sounds like it should be an Anglophone invention, it was originally a French one – though admittedly it is claimed that the name was borrowed from an Englishman. Dr Plumb began as something of a sister make to GBD, one that soon became an affordable sub-brand for the renowned English-French enterprise.

I would have to imagine that this Dr Plumb was made and named in a different time, back when the culture around smoking was a little more “relaxed,” let’s say. As the name suggests, the pipe is a compact, pocket-friendly piece, and a genuine featherweight perfectly suited for clenching.

The condition is very good. Minor inner rim darkening.
