Orlik London 7145 Smooth Straight Brandy Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Orlik was an English pipe manufacturer founded in 1899 by Louis Orlik. While originally the company’s mission was to produce low-cost pipes, the make would ultimately be known for the distinctly high quality of their products. Consequently, Orlik pipes are today a favorite among pipe smokers and collectors, especially those who prefer the hobby’s Great British classics.

This is a curious little pipe from Orlik. It’s what I’d call a short-bowled brandy, as it doesn’t have the 90 degree angles of a pot traditional pot, nor the sleek curve of a prince or a diplomat. But that’s not a bad thing – it’s a very nice design, one made even nicer by the almost camouflage-like contrast stain it wears.

This Orlik is also completely unsmoked, with a factory-original bowl coating to help with the break-in process.
