Michel Smooth Canadian Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

About this pipe:

Michel pipes were store-brand pipes made for Maison Michel, a North Carolina (USA) tobacconist run by Michel J. Mitchell between 1951 and 1980. Over the years, several prominent pipe-makers made pipes for Maison Michel, such as Charatan, Barling, and others.

Now this is what I’d call a clencher. A good size and bowl capacity, yet a mere 32 grams. I’d love to be able to find out definitively who made each of the Michel house brands, as even among the many high grades we get in, they’ve become some of my favorite pipes.

This Michel is also completely unsmoked.
