Orlik Rose 4277 Smooth Bent Billiard Estate Briar Pipe Unsmoked

Description

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.

The Orlik ‘Rose’ is, as the name suggests, red as the lover’s flower in full bloom, with a jet-black vulcanite stem complementing the bowl’s stain. The sea of bird’s-eye grain and layers of ruby and scarlet stain on this one reminds me a lot more of rose petals than others I’ve seen, making it a very elegant pipe indeed.

This Orlik happens to be completely unsmoked, with a factory-original bowl coating to help ease in its first smokes.
