Briarlee Rusticated Stubby Pot Cleanup

[Parsimonious Piper]

I collect Pipe by Lee pipes for my regular rotation, but one of their seconds lines—Briarlee—had a line of compact pipes called Strollers, perfect for, well, strolling. I picked up this short pot, a nose warmer 4” in length, with thick walls surrounding a substantial chamber roughly 3/4” in diameter and depth. It was in rather good condition except for the stem, which was oxidized deep brown with a few lovely green spots.


I gave it a long OxyClean bath, scrubbed and polished it. Voila! A great little piece for the dog walks.

That's a neat little pipe! And as the name suggests I'm sure it would be great for a hiking pipe!

Nice one! I've got a pretty little Briarlee Dublin I'll send you if you pm your address to me. It's nice and has a new stem Tim West made for it, but I just can't do the stinger, so I never smoke it.
