John Aylesbury 018 Smooth Bent Billiard w/ Silver Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked, 9mm

Description

While not a pipe manufacturer per se, John Aylesbury is a German pipe distributor that has, at various times, commissioned high-quality pipes to be sold under the John Aylesbury name. These have included Peterson, Brebbia, Bentley, and even Les Wood of Ferndown. As this pipe has Holland stamped as its country of manufacture, I would guess that it had been manufactured by Hilson via Gubbels, a Dutch company similarly renowned for its high-quality, well priced pipes.

The design of this one is a traditional bent billiard, with quite remarkable grain. With its relatively compact and lightweight stature, along with a good amount of chamber capacity, it should make for an easy, great looking clencher.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It is chambered to fit 9mm filters, whether charcoal, meerschaum, balsa, or indeed an adapter for non-filtered use.
