England
The pipe with the old, rare, and intriguing English name is, in fact, a proud member of the Dunhill family. Founded in 1900, the Masta Patent Pipe company, like Hardcastle, was acquired in 1946 by Parker (a subsidiary of Dunhills) and was wholly incorporated into Parker Hardcastle Limited until 1967. Since then, all three brands have been produced to more or less the same standards, have similar shapes, and are positioned at similar price points. Currently, the brand seems to no longer exist.
A nice and rare find with an interesting shape and the option to fit a 6mm filter (also a rare option on Dunhill products). And, of course, you can smoke without a filter; we will gladly add a 6mm adapter for direct smoking.
