Walt Cannoy Cardinal House Munn C24 Bulldog 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 Munn, named for Florida’s Munn Park, is a distinctive synthesis of styles, blending elements from French, Italian, and North American schools of pipe design. It’s a relatively compact bulldog, dressed in a granular rustication and red and black contrast stain. This stain provides the finish with even more depth, and resonates perfectly with the pipe’s cumberland ebonite stem.
