ORLIK UNSMOKED 1960's DELUXE LONG SADDLE STEM BILLIARD SHAPE L125 ESTATE PIPE

Description

Orlik pipes have a strong and loyal following like such other English makes as Loewe & Co. and are renowned for being some of the finest smokers ever made. It's rare to find the Deluxe unsmoked but this treasure came from a collector who had set aside many of the most classic shapes they ever made and never saw flame. The L125 is a quintessentially English Billiard with a very well formed bowl offering thick walls and a healthy size chamber. At only 31g it makes for a perfect clencher! Shank is sturdy and round and extends to meet the original long vulcanite saddle stem with fishtail bit, innertube still present, and signature brass ring logo inlaid. Finish is a warm Root Briar type with some reddish undertones while the briar displays amazing straight grain and flame grain with excellent depth.  A lovely pipe indeed, this one awaits its first smoke after almost 60 years!
