JOHN REDMAN Special Best Briar

This is not just a pipe from one of the highest series of John Redman’s London factory (only Redman’s Royal pipes are more valuable), but also probably the largest example we have ever encountered. A magnificent specimen — truly convincing craftsmanship!

The pipe has been thoroughly cleaned, polished, sanitized and now is ready for a new life.
