Over the last month I have had the pleasure of doing some business with Briar Blues -- and this Castello Aristocratia Great Line Dublin is likely the finest all-round pipe I have now in my stable. The dublin shape, the bowl's fumed outer walls, the bowl's wall thickness and diameter, the pipe length, the slight bend, etc. are things that click with my taste. Even the dark purple-blackness of the stem. This pipe ticks off all the boxes for what I love in a pipe. So easy to load, clench and clean. It is such a delightfully dry, cool smoker. Here's some pictures of it from Michael's site. Here is the direct link if you are interested in its more detailed specifications.
