Show Off Your James Upshall & Tilshead Pipes

[orlandofurioso]

Thanks! Upshall is an excellent alternative to $$$Dunhill$$$ if you are looking for quality English pipes.

Apart from their often poor quality stems ( this one looks fine ), for sure !! And Smokingpipes are good people to deal with .

I tend to chew through vulcanite so most in my collection have been replaced with acrylic.

oops, forgot a recent acquisition, an estate purchase from smokingpipes.com, Sept 2023

"While much attention and devotion is paid to the great English marques and factories of yesteryear, it's easy to forget that there exists some fine British briars made by hand, like those by James Upshall. This Apple is a robust rendition of the classic shape, placing a plump, curvaceous bowl atop a rounded heel at the fore of a comparatively slim round shank an tapered vulcanite stem. Dressed in a rich chestnut finish, the stummel boasts fine flame grain all around the bowl."
