English Estates: Barling Smooth Canadian (T.V.F.) (5574) (Post-Transition) Tobacco Pipe

Barling is a marque with an extensive history, its founding dating back to 1812. With a background in silversmithing, the marque's founder, Benjamin Barling, began by fashioning silver mounts for meerschaum bowls, and they would eventually start creating their own pipes in 1906. By 1960, the marque would be purchased by Finley and would continue to change ownership over the next few decades. Kopp Pipes would gain the rights in 2020, and they continue to carry on the Barling name. Lean and lightweight, this Canadian from Barling is sure to offer a comfortable presence in hand. The composition sees a pert, upright Billiard bowl posed at the fore of a slender stretch of oval shank and abbreviated stem, with the latter's quick taper accentuating this pipe's sleek profile. A smooth, chestnut finish dresses the stummel, revealing lovely grain across the briar.
