A graceful classic

[fishnbanjo]

The three part C Comoy's are the most revered of the companies pipes and the Blue Riband is up there in its hierarchy. While the Blue Riband pipe is scarce enough on its own accord I believe this square shanked Billiard three piece C to be a not often encountered shape. Like all of my Comoy Blue Riband pipes this is an exceptional smoker and is keeping it smokey with that wonderful 15 Peter Heinrichs Special Select Curly.

Great square shank/stem and saddle stem to complement that generous bowl. That German tobacco sounds excellent. Does curly refer to the cut, and if so, what is it, like shag or more like ribbon?

You have an amazing collection of pipes!

Mso489, they are smaller and thinner Roll cuts which curl from being thinner, easily rubbed out, stacked, rolled or whatever floats your boat and at 15 years of age sublime.
