Sasieni 4Dot Ruff Root Dark Sandblasted Billiard Briar Pipe, English Estates

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.

This particular Sasieni is a classic billiard from the make’s 4 Dot series. It’s a simple, ergonomic design, with a subdued burgundy sandblast and a weight well suited for clenching while going about one’s business.

The condition is good. Some inner rim darkening and minor finish fading.
