Another Excellent and Beautiful Algerian

[Briar Lee]

I have way more than my quota of Marxman pipes, styled for the rugged outdoor man of action.

And if I spent all my time around hairy legged boys outdoors then I’d be happy to smoke nothing except pre 54 Marxman pipes. I’d usually have a more rustic pipe than my buddies.

But for the third pipe in a row I’ve got an excellent, beautiful Algerian pipe, for $49 total plus shipping and taxes, about another $20 total.

$10 LHS silver band second



$19 Victors Hand Made Algerian



$20 Jon’s Special Algerian



The $10 one is the best of an excellent trio, and the best smoker I own yet, period.

Lookit the grain on this last one I got today.



After you have a whole slug of beautiful pipes to admire and show off any money spent on non Algerian briar is just wasted, I think.

Pleased for you that you've worked out what floats your boat.
But if you already have your Mumtaz Mahal, why keep adding to the 300 others in the harem ?

Simple answer: lust.

Inheritance strategy for his kids
Corner the market
Talk up the product
Watch the value escalate (if a $10 pipe sells for $20, the gain is 100% !)
Bingo

Are you going to ruminate more on hairy legged boys?

I have a Algerian briar pipe that I purchased from Paul’s pipe shop that Paul, who is no longer with us, made himself. I love the pipe and I only smoke his famous blend of tobacco that he made called Arrowhead. It’s a great smoking pipe. You have some beautiful Algerians there sir.

I just bought a Royal Ascot Supreme Algerian Chimney for $15, plus about six bucks tax and shipping.



Four pretty Algerian pipes, all full size, for a hundred bucks is a bargain.

Excellent! I really enjoy my Royal Ascot Supreme Algerian Briar bulldog (from my father's pipe collection).
I asked Copilot (microsoft's AI) what it can tell me about the Royal Ascot brand of pipes. Here is the answer:

The Royal Ascot brand of tobacco pipes is known for its quality craftsmanship. Here’s what I found:

1. Manufacturing: Pipes with the Royal Ascot brand were manufactured in France for Duncan1. They were destined for the US market and sold by Mastercraft1. Many of them are marked Algerian Briar1.
2. Design: Royal Ascot pipes often feature more diminutive proportions than their Italian or American counterparts2. From figural wood carving to timeless and elegant bent Billiards, Royal Ascot offers a variety of French designs2.
3. Estate Pipes: An estate pipe is any pipe that has been previously owned by someone else, including both smoked and unsmoked offerings2. Each estate pipe that is sold has undergone a thorough cleaning and disinfecting regimen before it is ever offered for sale2. Estate pipes are generally far less expensive than a new pipe of the same make2.
4. Availability: Royal Ascot pipes are available for purchase on various online platforms like Smokingpipes2 and others.

Please note that the availability might vary based on your location and the store’s inventory. It’s always a good idea to check with the store or the online platform for the most accurate and current availability. Hope this helps!
