I've had a few of Les's pipes over th Last couple of years, all in the bark family. I always wanted one in a root finish with silver, one or two stars, bent billiard, and an estate. When I heard that Les retired, I knew I better start searching more urgently. I got lucky and found this one that ticked all the boxes. Passes a pipe cleaner straight through and smokes beautifully. The detailed silver is a nice touch too. I hope Les keeps putting out some pipes in his retirement, but if not this'll do! Smoking some Dockworker with A&W on the side.
