Edward’s XL Smooth Canadian Estate Briar Pipe, American Estates

Description

While it has, at times, contracted other parties to produce pipes under its name, Edward’s used to manufacture both pipes and tobacco of its own, with a view to becoming the “American Charatan” for the former. This particular pipe looks to be from around the 1960s-1970s, back when Edward’s prided itself on using choice Algerian briar (which the Algerian war of independence later interrupted the supply of). This one is indeed a beautiful, long Canadian, with a bowl alive with chatoyant bird’s-eye.

The condition is good. Some wear to the rim and a few worn out fills.
