S&R Wood Craft Smooth Saddle Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Description

Stephen and Roswitha Anderson, of S&R Woodcrafters, were two of the United States’ most renowned artisan pipe-makers. They were also one of the very few examples of a husband and wife pipe-making partnership, like Les Wood and Dolly Wood of Ferndown or Love Geiger and Sara Mossberg of Geiger Pipes. Stephen and Roswitha began making pipes in the 1960s, soon developing a loyal following for their pipes in North America and in Europe. Stephen Anderson passed away in 2009, though Roswitha carries on the S&R legacy from the workshop the two once shared on a converted farm in Ohio.

This particular pipe, from Ohio’s Stephen and Roswitha Anderson, is a very traditional, large billiard in the English mold. It does however deviate a little from tradition thanks to its ivory-hued lucite stem, which contrasts nicely with the bowl’s walnut stain.

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