The pipe is really made of a fine briar, the grain is fantastic, almost 360 straight grain. The full bent shape is amazing, highly respected and collectable. Unfortunately its owner was not always careful with the pipe, we had to fix a few scratches on the bowl.

The pipe markings are “CONDOR \ Bruyere Extra”. The length is 8.8 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.4 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.7 cm and 1.9 cm. The depth is 3.6 cm and this pipe weights 43 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with the break-in coat. There were a few scratches patched on the bowl.
