JM Boswell 2010 XL Partially Rusticated Rhodesian Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

J.M. Boswell is one of North America’s most revered artisan pipe makers, with Boswell pipes typically selling out within minutes of going on sale. With a pipe-making career that started in the 1970s, J.M. Boswell has become the equivalent of a household name in the pipe world, both for his pipes and for serving as the patriarch of family-owned Pennsylvania tobacconist Boswell’s.

In the pipe world, few things say “American made” as much as one of J.M. Boswell’s works. Renowned for their rough-and-ready aesthetics and for their tendency to be “well-oiled smoking machines,” there’s a good reason why Boswell’s pipes sell about as quickly as they’re made. This one is exceptionally representative of the artisan’s style. A decidedly oversized Rhodesian rendition, the pipe mixes finishes by way of a near-black, stony rustication at the bowl and a slight contrast stain following grain patterns as they ascend the shank. A simple black mouthpiece ties it all together, reinforcing the pipe’s no-nonsense, two-tone color palette.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It comes with its original sleeve.
