Around $735 not including tax/shipping.

That sounds about right. The last one I saw went for $880.00 before shipping and tax

I was second highest bid 5 seconds left $485 and I was like it’s mine. Poof out bid by $10. My wallet is happy for the loss.

I'm happy for the seller, good for them. I don't need another pipe anyway.... maybe?

Was it the merchant with the blue towel and Elizabethan tin?

It was, yes.

I was following that briar circle Pete, too. I think it was Dan Chasin that had recently posted something about a similar pipe in his collection, possibly in the PSOI group. It’s definitely cool. The photos by Chance Whittamore (greatestatepipes) always seem somewhat oversaturated and with lots of added contrast, but pipes you buy from him are restored to as close to new as is possible. I can highly recommend him.

Man they killed it with the dark smooths. I wish they’d just use this in lieu of the heritage finish.

Awesome set, congrats!

Same. Before the Heritage finish came out I think Dark Smooth filled that spot as the lowest end smooth.

It seems like they figure the stummels that were set for Dark Smooths were either good enough to become Terracotta (or maybe even Natural) or not good enough and so became Heritage.

The prevalence of the Heritage finish and the scarcity of the Dark Smooth finish also suggests that the latter costs a lot more to create.

My guess is that the heritage stain hides grain imperfections and fills much better. The dark smooth over time creates a very nice contrast.

177. The New Standard System Dark

Two weeks ago SPC (Smokingpipes.com) released the first batch of what I’ve been thinking of as “the Dark System,” but which is actually called the Standard System Dark. It’s not a replacement for t…
