Barling's Guinea Grain

[owen]

Just got this today thanks to a vague listing, crossed Barlings on the stem no shape number. kind of does what it says on the tin grain wise.

I love it. Simple lines, interesting grain with an understated elegance. A true gentleman's pipe. Congrats and enjoy.

Sable's going to lose his mind. That's gorgeous. Barling always has been a stellar name for classic shapes & elegance. I picked up a nice bent egg Barling the other day. Haven't taken any pics yet, but will PDQ!

Jesse lost his mind a long time ago. Fortunately for all concerned, he can find it at will.....

True.
Owen, that's a splendid example of a Guinea Grain and it looks to be in equally splendid shape. The profile is elegant. S-M is the perfect size for a modest smoke. Congrats on a nice addition to your menagerie.

Thank you. I must confess I didn't find the Barling's saddle stem very comfortable but this pipe is indeed very graceful with a great button.

Truly a gem, just what pipe should look, Congrats on this one.

Saddle bits look fabulous on some pipes, Lovats, for example. But on your basic billiard/lumberman? No, just can't see it. It's weird what a big difference a mere 1.75-2" can make.
