Sasieni 4 Dot Walnut 5 Smooth Diamond Shank Pot 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.

As I’ve said in a few other listings, I’m not sure I can remember when Sasieni pipes were last made. So I was pleasantly surprised to find a few unsmoked 4 Dots that had landed on my desk. This particular 4 Dot is a highly distinctive, diamond shank bent pot shape, almost reminiscent of Charatan. It is dressed in the Sasieni’s signature Walnut finish, and it is also English-made.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It comes with its original box and sleeve.
