Astley's Balmoral Bent Bulldog Estate Pipe

Undeniably English, this Astley's Balmoral was likely made by Bill Taylor of Ashton fame for the prestigious pipe shop located at 109 Jermyn Street in London.  Smooth and displaying naturally contrasting grain, this double bead rhodesian does have some inner rim darkening above a wide and cylindrical chamber well suited for enjoying broad cut and complex blends.  The smooth draw is open and smooth, perfect for supporting the wide chamber connected with the open draft.
