I see lots of Royal Sovereign pipes for sale from the UK on Ebay. I made a search for them on PM, but there isn't anything on them. Could anyone give me some info on them?
Like Al said, a sub-brand of Orlik. I have a Royal Sovereign straight pot with thick walls, and it is one of my favorite pipes. It has a couple of tiny fills that are hardly visible, but that is no worry to me as the pipe is so nice to smoke. I would buy another without hesitation.
Royal Sovereign is a Orlik sub brand/seconds very comparable to Comoys sub Everyman pipes, both of wich smoke well as long as you don't pay too much for either
