Facts, not a grade. We do not score a pipe out of ten: a number would rank a restored pipe above an honest one, and restoration is exactly what this hobby prices down. Every line above is checkable by anyone holding the pipe. Lines marked Faridunhill standing declaration rest on our published, dated statement of shop practice (v1.0, 2026-07-29) — not on an inspection of this individual pipe. It is one document, in public, that you can hold us to.
This is a sealed tin of Brebbia Latakia Flake No. 9 pipe tobacco, containing 50 grams (1.75 ounces) of tobacco. The product is presented in its original manufacturer's packaging, a metal tin typical of tobacco preservation. The blend is identified as a latakia-based flake, suggesting a preparation method where the tobacco is pressed and sliced into flakes. The numbering system indicates it is part of a series of blends from the Brebbia brand. Dating is based solely on the packaging style and brand attribution, without specific production codes or date stamps visible in the record.

6 checklist facts recorded under Faridunhill's standing declaration of shop practice (2026-07-29).
This record is append-only. Nothing is deleted — a correction is a new entry that supersedes the old one, and both stay visible.
Nobody leaves empty-handed. If you hold the catalogue page, the dated advertisement, or a hallmarked sibling that closes one of these — or simply own this model and can measure yours — send it in. Contributions are checked, credited to you by name, and the record is updated with the date it changed.
Instagram post, 2020-02-23. Published to a third-party platform on that date and archived since — a timestamp we cannot move. It is evidence that this object existed and looked like this, then.
The photographs are the identity. 2 images of this pipe's grain, stamping and stem are held as its fingerprint. The handle above is only a handle: lose it, and the pipe can still be matched back to this record from its grain.
