J. Mouton Partially Sandblasted Dublin with Buffalo Horn and Brass (Estate)

Born and raised in the small town of Gueydan, Louisana, Jason Mouton’s rise in the ranks of American pipe makers has been nothing less than meteoric—and for good reason. Having crafted duck calls since he was a teenager, Mouton’s first forays into pipe making began with carving tampers. Mouton’s unexpected and substantial successes with these handmade tampers encouraged and allowed him to purchase the equipment needed to create pipes themselves. Studying the works of renowned American artisans such as J. Alan, Grant Batson, and Jared Coles, Mouton gradually developed his own pipe making craft, which was furthered by his exchanges with Greek artisan Chris Asteriou. Today, Mouton’s works are some of the most sought after on the artisan market, a demand which he has responded to—and not unlike his beginnings in carving tampers—by reinvesting his successes into an unwavering advancement of his skills and technique.

One of the things that J. Mouton has a genuine talent for is creating pipes with a profound lightness to them. Even when such pipes are on the larger side, they have a certain airy quality, aesthetically speaking, and they’re typically not all that heavy from a practical standpoint, either. This one’s an especially sharp take on the Dublin, with a slender profile, horn ferrule, and simple, black ebonite mouthpiece that recalls many of the designs of the early post-war Danish scene.

The condition is good. Some minor rim darkening and slight weathering to the pipe’s horn ferrule. The pipe comes with its original leather sleeve.
