American Estates: Custom-Bilt Carved Rhodesian (pre-1946) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-009-22350
Dated before 1946, this vintage Rhodesian from Custom-Bilt is a unique interpretation of the shape-chart standard, pairing a lengthy shank and stem to a tall bowl. Where most Rhodesians display a more squat, supple bowl, this offering from Custom-Bilt displays an almost Billiard-like bowl that rises nearly two inches in height. The shape's signature beadlines are still on full display across the bowl, informing the slight taper of the walls to the rim. An arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement brings up the rear, with the inky vulcanite mouthpiece slenderizing to the bit. The stummel displays detailed carvings, juxtaposing the sleek stem and providing the smoker with texture to explore.
