PAD: Mysterious Sasieni Second With A Dot - Claret

[cshubhra]

The Claret is a second line from Sasieni - It has a Blue Accent and a single blue dot ? . It is from the family era. It is somewhat rare as it is not known (At least by me) why would a pipe be stamped as Claret and not Two Dot. This particular pipe is beautifully finished with a light red stain, and also marked as XS which as per an eBay seller denotes a higher grade in the Claret line. I acquired this at the same time as the Perfect Ten I posted earlier. I have lightly cleaned it up, some defects remain but I can live with it. A little more elbow grease and this can be restored perfectly if I so desire in the future.

Nice! Love the shape

Thank you! I acquired three Sasieni pipes from a fellow pipe smoker. I was after the Perfect Ten and this Claret, so it was a sweet deal. The third pipe is a Sasieni Two Dot Dublin with a beautiful stummel but a chewed through stem

Nice! Love the shape

Seems to have been a good week for pipe acquiring. Great grab and cleanup!?

Beautiful pipe. I love the blue accent. It makes it very distinct.

I have a soft spot for good looking bent bulldogs and yours is a good example of an attractive one.

Dang man, as a Sasieni addict, I'm jealous of both pipes. The XS does indeed denote a better grade of pipe. In my experience they smoke a little better than the standard lines too. Enjoy 'em.

Beautiful pipes. Sasieni family era or earlier are hard to beat. My best smokers are all Sasieni. Love the briar they use and their seconds are just as good quality briar as the four dot. Usually just a very minor physical blemish.

Ditto, but then again I'm a sucker for bent bulls.

Yes! I like a partial bent Bulldog. But then I like most traditional shapes.
