Sebastien Beo Smooth Panel Rhodesian Estate Briar Pipe, French Estates

Description

Now here is a brand that I haven’t seen in a long time: Sébastien Beo. For those who were not keeping abreast of pipe developments in the early 2010s, Sébastien Beo was a project undertaken by Sébastien Beaud, a French pipe-maker otherwise responsible for the Genod brand. Amidst an ascendant Danish-American hegemony, Sébastien Beo pipes were to be eminently traditional, affordable—though nonetheless well made—briars. This one, for example, is a panel Rhodesian evocative of early 20th century French pipes, with excellent grain, a simple, light stain, and an ebonite stem.

The condition is great. Some minor inner rim darkening, but nothing major.
