Walt Cannoy Cardinal House Hollingsworth C24 Handmade Briar Pipe, New

Description

Walt Cannoy first emerged as a major figure in the the North American pipe-making renaissance around the turn of the millennium. Originally an R&D mechanic, Cannoy carved and sold his first pipe in 1999, having been inspired by artisan pipe-makers as diverse as Preben Holm, Robert ‘Micoli’ Burns, and Joe Mariner. Cannoy would soon rise in the ranks of the North American artisan scene, becoming one of its premier high-grade carvers.

“Cardinal House” began as a side-project of Florida’s Walt Cannoy, before evolving into more of a division of separate lines within his output. The Cardinal House “Munn” and “Morton” lines, for example, wear rusticated finishes; “Hollingsworth” and “Langford,” on the other hand, are smooth pieces. This Hollingsworth, named for Florida’s Lake Hollingsworth, is an eminently classical pot, from its sterling silver collar to its slight forward cant. Something I have noticed about Cannoy’s pipes over the years is his impeccable eye for color composition, and this one is no exception.
