Paul Menard Smooth Demiwarden Apple (Estate)

About this pipe:

Paul Menard is an American artisan who crafts pipes from his workshop in Bend, Oregon. An autodidact, Menard first began making pipes with the help of Pimo’s Guide to Pipe Crafting at Home, a popular book among budding artisans. Starting out with manzanita wood from the Santa Cruz mountains, Menard ultimately shifted to making pipes from briar, olivewood, and morta, which he found more to his tastes and style.

This particular pipe is a very distinctive, demi-warden apple rendition, giving an unusually lengthy figure to the Anglo-French staple. It’s also extraordinarily grained, allowing it to wear a virgin finish so as to spotlight its tightly knit vertical patternings.

The condition is great, with the pipe looking to have been only smoked a few times, and lightly. It comes with its original sleeve.
