Barling: Montague Craggy Root (1821) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Founded in 1812 by silversmith Benjamin Barling, B. Barling and Sons originally supplied pipe smokers with fine metallic fitments before producing its own briar pipes starting in 1906. It didn't take long for Barling's reputation to grow among the pipe community, many knowing them for their quality craftsmanship, fine attention to detail, and incredible smoking experiences. Over 200 years after Barling's journey into pipes began, the company was brought back and re-energized by Kopp Pipes in 2020, giving smokers a new chance to experience the English marque's work.

Montague Barling was the last representative of Barling's "Family Era," when control of the company still remained in the hands of Benjamin Barling's descendants. The Montague series honors Barling's "Family Era" and offers a variety of pipes for those looking to explore this new age of the company. Taking inspiration from army mounts, these Montague pipes feature domed metal accents at their junctions, nicely contrasting the black acrylic stem that's here drilled to accept 9mm filters. Additionally, each piece in the series offers the brand's signature logo across the stem: a lion's head of sterling silver. Such is the case with this "1821" bent Dublin, dressed in the Craggy Root finish.
