About This Pipe

Post-transition Barlings my not enjoy much of a collector status, but this smooth straight Billiard nonetheless offers quite a fine bit of briar. The finish isn't exactly consistent (possibly the lighter right flank was simply over-buffed at some point), but the cross-grain of the rim is striking, and both flanks offer impressive displays of birdseye. I'm not spotting any obvious fills either, for that matter.
