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.
The entry
This BRUYERE GARANTIE pipe has a small smooth cutty bowl, a long straight shank and a black vulcanite tapered stem with a fishtail bit. Farid records it as a vintage pre-smoked pipe in fair condition. The rim has burning or darkening, and he discloses over-sanding from removal of the burned layer. These defects are central to its condition and should be read before purchase.
The pipe measures 200mm overall but has a bowl only 33mm high and 24mm wide. The small bowl and extended outline give it the proportions described in the intake as a mini-size cutty and in the sheet name as a churchwarden. Its bowl leans gently forward, while the straight shank continues into a long mouthpiece. A narrow light-colored ring is visible at the junction in the photographs.
The smooth reddish-brown surface leaves portions of the grain visible along the bowl and shank. The photographs show both profiles, the underside, the rim and chamber opening, and the detached stem. Farid specifies no filter; the metal tenon fitting visible with the stem removed does not change that specification.
