Old Dominion: Williamsburg Clay Pipe Tobacco Pipe

Product Number: 002-631-0004

Many makers and marques have their own unique renditions of the traditional Cutty shape, itself inspired by the clay tavern pipes of old. Not many, however, fashion iterations of the shape from its original medium: clay.

Well, thanks to a discovery of colonial pipe artifacts at Old Dominion's heirloom corn farm, we off this "Williamsburg" design. The fragmented artifacts were scanned, pieced back together in CAD software, and then modeled using 3D printing technology, resulting in master-copies for producing molds that captured the unique details of original colonial-era pipes as they would have come out of the pipe makers' molds in the 17th and 18th centuries.

These are fashioned from non-toxic, commercially produced clay, and bisque fired, as were the originals.

Note: While all of our other pipes are photographed individually, these are not, and you may expect some reasonable cosmetic variation between the example we've photographed and the pipe you've received.

My favorite pipe

Product: Old Dominion Williamsburg Clay Pipe
Started with cobs and moved to clay. This was my firs, caught due to a love of colonial American history. I broke it after about a year or so. Tried other clays but they just aren’t as wonderful on the draw or classic in appearance. If this comes back in stock I may need to buy several. Is not just a good looking historical piece, it was my best smoking pipe!! Always cool and dry, more so than other modern clays....Read More
May be my ideal pipe

Some of my first pipes were clays, but I quickly branched out into meerschaum, briars, cobs. I always come back to the clays though, and I'm realizing that this style with the very wide bore and loose draw is my favorite. I hated it at first, because if you're not careful you will suck up some burnt tobacco, especially near the end of the bowl. But if you stick with them, you learn how to avoid that to a large extent. This style produces the coolest smoke for me of any pipe I've ever smoked. I love the Old German pipes, but honestly the fit and finish of the Old Dominion are significantly better. I like how the mouth piece tapers to a point on this model in particular, doesn't feel bulky in the mouth, and the bowl is sufficiently large to comfortably smoke all of my preferred tobaccos. I tend to prefer shag cuts, and the Jamestown is suitable for a small amount of shag, but it's a little too small for larger cuts. This, the Williamsburg, doesn't have that problem, and it will fit a full sized tamper, whereas the Jamestown will not. I think if I had to come up with a complaint, I might say that the bowl is still kind of on the small size, and stylistically it's pretty plain. But when the pipe smokes better than any other pipe I've got (with the exception maybe of the gourd calabashes), I don't have much trouble overlooking these things. As cheap as it is, I'd recommend it to everyone; it may end up being the only pipe I regularly smoke....Read More
Wow...if I'd only known.

I'm new to piping at age 61 yrs. In the past few weeks I've ordered more than two dozen pipes. This "Williamsburg" and "The Dutchman" are both great pipes. I would, now, always recommend a beginner to start with a Clay pipe. So to first learn pipe smoking before moving up to briars; so to build cake before burning up a new briar. Because if you can learn to smoke, a Clay pipe, cool enough to hold onto its bowl...you are 'then' ready to smoke from a briar. I highly recommend trying at least one; The Dutchman or the Williamsburg. I added near 1.5 inches of 5/16" (8mm) heat-shrink tube to the mouth pieces of each. Cleaning them is as easy as running it through a 2 hour self-clean cycle in your oven but first, and obviously, remove the heat-shrink tubing....Read More
