Unsmoked Family-era Sasieni Acquisition

[doctorbob]

Just purchased this unsmoked family era Sasieni Four Dot Ruff-Root Edgware for $106. This little gem was found in a pile of overpriced, rather worse for the wear, estate pipes.

A fairly compact, yet capacious pipe that is 5 in long and 2 1/4 in tall bowl. The entirety of the briar is almost perfectly crosscut grain resulting in an outstanding sandblast on both sides with hints of red highlights.

The stem is slightly oxidized, and as would be expected in a period Sasieni, the bowl was pre carbonized. The mortise is bare briar, squeaky clean and unstained.

Only question now what to smoke in it.

Missed this yesterday, heck of a find and price. And just look at those blue dots! There is no prettier stem logo than a Four Dot. And to me, super comfortable to smoke, just the right level of click-i-ness and button size.
