I recently acquired a Brit-wood fever that had me selling off my beloved Kaywoodies and buying up Brit-wood.
Here are four examples. A Ruff-Root Ashford, A Walnut Ashford, A Ruff-Root Oom Paul and a Walnut Oom Paul
You had me at Sasieni. Four great pipes! Actually, what's interesting is the slight difference in the shaping of the Oom Paul's. Is the smooth pipe a patent pipe?
That smooth Oom Paul is earlier than the Walnut, my friend! Just slightly earlier. The Ashford's looking good in that photo! I should have taken some shots before the restoration.
Tim,
Very nice selection! Sasieni made some great pipes! Just beware, Britwood is addictive.
BTW, thanks again for the fantastic Kaywoodie. It's a superior smoker!
