BriarWorks Classic C91XL Smooth Churchwarden Apple (New)

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.

A relatively new addition to the BriarWorks catalog, the “XL” subseries is comprised of extra large variations on shapes from the BriarWorks Classic series, all of which take the form of churchwarden designs. The C91XL, seen here, is a churchwarden-length rendition of BriarWorks’ flagship bent apple, the C91. This one is dressed in the workshop’s light smooth finish and paired with an amber-toned acrylic mouthpiece.
