English Estates: Charatan's Make Selected Billiard Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-002-37669
Founded by Fredrick Charatan in 1863, the Charatan brand is most famously known as the first company to entirely hand-make briar pipes from the block to the finished product. The term "Charatan's Make" refers to the method of assembly that differentiated Charatan pipes from the rest of the world. Many Charatan pipes go against the grain when it comes to traditional English pipe archetypes, offering more dynamic designs than you'll find in other classic shape charts.
This Billiard from Charatan is a hearty rendition of the classic design, whose sizable bowl and sturdy aft provide a satisfying feel in the hand, as well as between the teeth. The substantial bowl rises from its heel, growing cylindrical walls that meet a flat rim, which looks into a capacious tobacco chamber, ideal for lengthy smoking sessions. Out back, a hefty rounded shank extends before meeting the equally broad base of a Double-Comfort saddle stem. The inky vulcanite complements the rich stain up front where handsome vertical grain is seen throughout, particularly on the left flank.
