C. B. Perkins Belge with Silver Estate Pipe

C.B. Perkins was a generations old tobacconist with several stores throughout New England who routinely sold well-made briars made for their inventory.  This thick walled and muscular belge features a sterling silver band original to the pipe.  There is some inner rim darkening but this cross-grained and canted smoker appears to have no fills in the smooth finish.  Tapered in the narrow chamber, this tall and clenchable smoker is a perfect vessel for long sessions with a sweet and grassy virginia or shag cut tobacco.
