My first briars arrived over the course of this week. They're all estates and whilst nothing special compared to most of the pipes on here it's the start if my herd.
An unsmoked made in the republic of Ireland Peterson Kapruf 80s. The first bowl was nothing short of horrible but then I've read that Peterson can be nasty to break in.
I also bought a pair of Stanwell estates from a well known seller, I've got no idea of what model they are but I thought they looked good!
Made in Denmark and dated 2001
Marked A-Turen 1997
And lastly the only estate that I had to clean, an Orlik hurricane pipe from the 50's or 60's I believe. I'd just had a delightful bowl of Skiff in the pipe before I took the pic
As a complete aside I also recieved an old split cane rod too, I love my fishing! I've just finished making a couple of sets of floats, I believe you call them bobbers?, so I'll be out at the weekend trotting for barbel and chub. Life is good :D
