USA

This is another one lightweight, practical and not too much smoked american pipe. It’s difficult to say which pipe chain wanted to resemble Charatan and was selling the “Executive” pipes. But that doesn’t matter: the wood is good enough, the grain is nice and interesting, the engineering of the pipe is really of a good level. We do undoubtly recommend!

The pipe marking is “EXECUTIVE \ IMPORTED BRIAR”. The lenghts is 12.7 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.2 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 2.9 cm and 2.0 cm. The depth is 3.1 cm and this pipe weights 29 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, air cooler.
