Molina Smooth Bent Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked, 9mm

Description

Molina, also known as Molina di Barasso, is an Italian pipe company with a stronger hold on the world of pipes than it might seem at first glance. Located in Lombardy, at the same premises that Rossi once occupied prior to the latter’s closure, Molina’s factory produces both Molina-brand pipes, as well as pipes for a significant number of other brands and shops. This it does with remarkable consistency in addition to affordability, which the Molina company credits partly to the historic ties, tools, and “secrets” that came with its acquisition of the old Rossi campus—one that has existed since the 19th century.
This looks to be from a discontinued Molina line, as I’ve not been able to find any comparable ones currently for sale. This would make sense as the pipe came in with a large lot of new old stock a week or so ago. It’s a nice, natural finish bent billiard with twin silver rings and an accent between them that reminds of amber.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It is chambered for 9mm filters if the user prefers.
