BriarWorks C53 Crimson Sandblasted Bulldog w/ Yellow Stem Briar Pipe, New

Description

BriarWorks represents the dream of many a pipe maker, being a workshop owned and stewarded by artisans whose mission is to produce affordable pipes of their own design. Founded in 2013 in Tennessee by American pipe making legends Todd Johnson and Pete Prevost, BriarWorks has gone from strength to strength in the years since, not least because of its ability to combine cutting-edge factory production techniques with high-grade artisan standards. Not unlike Pibe-Dan or Stanwell in Denmark, many a high-flying carver has been a part of the BriarWorks team, including contemporary greats such as Sam Adebayo, Micah Redmond, and Bill Shalosky.

The “C53” belongs to BriarWorks’ Classic Range, one defined by traditional Anglo-French shapes crafted with the precision of a modern artisan. Just like the Anglo-French briars of old, it takes the form of a short and slightly squat rendition, one perfectly suited for clenching or pocketing when needs require. This one features a very fitting, amber-toned acrylic mouthpiece, evoking the pipe aesthetics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, while also wearing a much more contemporary, Crimson contrast sandblast—not unlike the finishes used by BriarWorks’ in-house artisans on their solo pipes.
