About This Pipe

I have never before seen an LB with a saddle stem, so I'm a bit unhappy that I can't use that line anymore. This pipe, being smoked well over the years, has a deep nutty patina on the surface that has had it's peaks of blasting worn down from handling. To see a pipe with such rich character gives us all hope that the new naturally-stained pieces made recently will color in much the same way. A group 6 in size means this puppy will smolder through the entirety of Gone with the Wind (the book, not the movie).
