Barling King 6199 Sandblasted Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates
Out of stock
Description
Barling and Sons was originally founded in 1812 by Benjamin Barling and began as a family business making silver-adorned meerschaum pipes. In the early 20th century, however, the Barling family began to produce what the brand is today most famous for – expertly made briar pipes.
The “King” was a line of larger Barling pipes (at least by Anglo-French standards) during the post-transition era. Despite being around 6 inches in length, this one isn’t particularly heavy. Another positive is that it exhibits an especially craggy sandblast, calling to mind those of the Fossil during the family era. It’s a rugged, ring grain piece, and should make for a reliable workhorse.
The condition is fair. General finish fading and a slightly over-reamed chamber.
