Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE James Upshall Large Billiard (P)/ 360 Flame Grain/ Handmade, England/ EXCELLENT All James Upshall pipes are individually created by a team of highly skilled artisans, headed by Mr. Barry Jones, who is widely regarded as one of the best pipe carvers in the world, with more than 50 years-experience in pipe making. They are so distinctly recognizable in quality, that aficionados say they can identify an Upshall pipe from across the room. In excellent, very clean condition, here’s a full bent Billiard shaped pipe from the British Marque with large tobacco chamber. It features desirable graining, so this pipe touches all the bases for a sweet, dry and cool smoke. Draft hole is center and above the bottom of the chamber. Chamber interior is very sound and clean. There is an effortless draw. Tenon to mortise union is sound, snug and flush. Vulcanite stem is a crisp jet black bearing no marks. Due to well-seasoned quality briar, pipe weighs only a mere 1. 81 ounces (51.8 grams. No fills. One very miniscule mark on the rim but otherwise flawless. Regarding graining, the well-respected authority on the subject, Carl Ehwa, in his landmark book, Pipes & Tobaccos, writes: “When selecting briar pipes, quality of wood and workmanship and the type of graining are the prime considerations. Pipes made of dense, straight grain wood … have a tendency to absorb moisture much more slowly, which means they will smoke more sweetly and need to be rested less often. The bird's–eye, or end grain at the bottom of the bowl of a straight grain pipe absorbs moisture more quickly than other grains. Yet, because of its position, it allows the moisture to drain away from the tobacco and the channel, thus keeping the smoke dry.” ~ Pg 128 Condition: EXCELLENT Weight 1. 81 ounces (51.8 grams Length 5 – ¾ inches Bowl width: 1 – 3/8th inches + Bowl height 2 – 1/8th inches Chamber Diameter 13/16th inches + Chamber depth: 1 – 5/8th inches NOTE: Each estate pipe has been carefully cleaned, completely disinfected with EverClear 90% Grain Alcohol, and prepared — allowing you to start enjoying it the moment you receive it.
