Sandblasted Paneled Billiard Tobacco Pipe

In the past Chris Askwith has chosen some notably colorful stem materials. With our latest arrivals, he's really cranked that up, making even the canary yellows and black-and-green brindles of the past look introverted. And out of the latest batch, this briar, I would say, is the most colorful of all, going for not only a Gulf-livery-on-maximum-contrast color theme in the stem, but also one vibrant burnt orange finish. As if with a playful wink, however, he's kept the shape itself a straightforward and classic as can be: a no-nonsense Foursquare, smartly paneled, and finely grained.
