New Bari Estate

[psychpipes]

Just won a Bari Handmade off the Bay. Saw it by accident while searching through pipes last night. I don't have any freehand pipes as they don't usually appeal to me. As soon as I saw this one I wanted it. I went through a short phase of looking for giant size pipes, so i was familiar with the brand. A YouTube piper I watched constantly named PipefriendCHS, who doesn't post much anymore,highly recommended the brand. This is the most I've ever spent on an estate pipe, but I think the grain and style is beautiful. I can't wait to see it in person!

I have a Bari bent billiard in a dark, dark brown stain, smooth, that was given to me by my

late wife's aunt. It is a good-sized pipe, between a Group 4 and 5, light weight, and never

showed its age. A real classic. I suspect it exceeds many higher-priced pipes in smoking

qualities.
Your pipe reminds me somewhat of a Joh's freehand I have, except mine, the bowl extends

to a rounded point under the shank, a shape some call a tomahawk. Like yours, it has

plateau on both the brim and shank. I like the slight panel effect on the bowl of yours.

My Johs has a nice groove in the front, but well rounded.

Great looking pipe. I have never heard much about the brand, but what I have heard is all positive. I hope she smokes well for you. Congrats and Enjoy my friend!

I do have big Bari Don billiard. 2" high big bowl, thick wall, very open draw make

a smooth and cool smoke. Very very nice pipes.
