Randy Wiley Patina (1993 Make) Large Straight Belge Estate Pipe

This large and smooth finished Patina belge estate pipe from American pipemaker, Randy Wiley, has a tremendously large bowl and chamber.  The straight shank has a cat's eye design with a seam running down both sides and the acrylic stem is tapered for a lengthy smoker at just a hair less than 8 inches.  The acrylic stem suffered some crazing from the draft hole where someone likely tried to clean it with acetone and as a result there are some cracks.  Though structurally stable and sound, we definitely do not recommend this massive American handmade for clenching.  The chamber itself is remarkably big with almost an inch in diameter and drilled cylindrical to the rounded bottom over 2 inches from the rim for ridiculously long sessions with broad cuts and tongue friendly blends.  There are many minor handling marks and some inner rim darkening around the broad and thick walled bowl, but this densely straight grained and canted smoker is still in outstanding condition with a fantastic draw.
