Walt Cannoy Cardinal House Morton Rusticated Rhodesian 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 Morton, named for Florida’s Lake Morton, looks at first glance like a traditional Rhodesian, yet a closer inspection reveals it to have a distinctively steep, undulating figure, along with Cannoy’s signature light, stony rustiation. The design is completed by a jet black ebonite stem, inlaid with a ring of zebrawood.
