English Estates: Orlik Smooth Billiard (A23) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-002-35409
Though perhaps most readily recognized for their Golden Sliced pipe tobacco, Orlik was originally founded as a pipe-making marque by Louis Orlik on London's Bond Street. The company found great success thanks to their high-quality briars and reasonable price points, and they later expanded into Birmingham in order to keep up with production. In 1980, Orlik was bought by the Cadogan group and production was moved into a new factory, where the brand continues to make pipes to this day. A classic take on the timeless Billiard shape, this "A23" boasts a balanced build sure to please fans of chart-standard pipes executed well. The bowl here is plump and fits well in the hand, its walls taking on a slight taper to the rim while a sleek shank and slender stem ebb away out back from a wide transition. Dressed in a light, mahogany-hued stain, the stummel here showcases handsome grain.
