Sasieni Four Dot Ruff Root 44G King Size Lumberman Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates

Description

Along with names like Barling, Charatan, and Dunhill Sasieni holds a special place in the history of English smoking pipes – one near to its very beginnings. So the story goes, Sasieni himself worked for Dunhill during its early days. But eventually he left Dunhill, having his own ideas about how pipes should be made, and founded Sasieni. This was 1919, and Sasieni has been the closest thing to a household name in English pipes ever since.

As one might expect, Sasieni’s King Size pipes were variants of standard shapes that were far larger than usual, and indeed were the largest pipes that the make offered. While not quite a magnum, this Four Dot lumberman, dressed in Sasieni’s “Ruff Root” sandblast finish, is still a sizeable pipe, nearing 8 inches in length and boasting a wide, generous chamber capacity.

The condition is very good. Some minor inner rim darkening.
