French Made Natural Grain Algerian Briar

[BROBS]

Gotta give a shout out to the eBay seller “sonofapipe”. It’s a father and son outfit with great quality pipes at reasonable prices. This pipe is sweet!

New or unsmoked estate?

They only sell unsmoked NOS and new pipes.

Nice find. I just checked them out, seems like they have quite a big selection.

My kind of thing, and I am desperately in need of pipes, although that last part is ironic. I like the simplicity and fine traditional shape. The U.S. made Benton used to be Algerian briar. I have three of those.

Yep, that's my speed. I'll check them out.

These suckers smoke way above their price point. You can’t even get briar like this today.

That stem logo does look like "City deluxe" GBD's sub brand

Thanks for that reference. From the COM marking it sure could be GBD. It’s a very GBDesque pipe.

Thanks for the heads up on that sonofapipe, BROBS. I'm happy with my purchase.

Wow that looks nicer than the pics in the listing. I’ve found that to happen often.
