To quote from our Grading Page – What is a Ligne Bretagne Collector? These handmade pipes sit at the top of the Ligne Bretagne brand, offering quality workmanship in creative styles derived from classical pipe shapes. They’re created using the same briar I use for Talbert Briars, and go through the same processes in order to be fully comparable smokers and beautiful pieces of art combined. Each pipe is priced individually based on grain and complexity of design, with prices typically running between $350 and $500.

I’ve commented in prior descriptions about the fun we’ve been having working with these small WW2-era briar blocks. This block, however, was not small! It’s not a big pipe by any means, but it’s a good bit larger in overall size than some of the noseburners we’ve done from this stock. The general theme remains, however – A fantasy-inspired freehand with an eye-catching silhouette, a good-sized bowl, and a beautiful Raven’s Wing carved finish.
