BriarWorks Classic C22 Black Sandblasted Billiard (Estate)

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.

BriarWorks’ C22 is about as classic as one can get in terms of pipe design. Simultaneously stout and lightweight, it’s a quintessential “large billiard” in the English vein, one that wouldn’t look out of place in an early 20th century factory catalog. This one’s dress drives that aesthetic even further home, taking the form of a crisp and craggy black sandblast and an ivory-like acrylic mouthpiece.

The condition is great. Some minor wear to the inner rim.
