GRC Grade F Size 5 (2003 Make) Sandblast Apple Estate Pipe

GRC pipes were made by Darius Erch Christian, though the acronym GRC comes from his wife, to whom he dedicated his business, Grace.  Having studied his craft with credited carvers, Trevor Talbert and J.M. Boswell, Darius quickly garnered a reputation for Danish inspired classics - well made and excellent smokers until retiring a few years ago. This F grade American made estate pipe features a tight blast and a very thick stem, packaged together in a tan finish with thick walls around the chamber.  There is some rim darkening, though this open drafted apple is still in fine shape.
