Charatan Executive #43091TT
This piece smacks of very prime, good old briar. The amount of tight straight grain around the bowl far exceeds most of the Executives I’ve seen, and that doesn’t even include the somewhat desperate looking Executives produced in the current iteration of this venerated brand. It is a Lane era pipe and the size is a large Grp. 5. The draw is wide-open and the tooth marks on the bottom of the stem are exaggerated by the photography and are not deep at all. While the Double Comfort (DC) stem is clearly original, the CP logo has been buffed off. Indeed, This pipe exhibits all the hallmarks of having been loved and smoked and taken good care of. The overall condition is very good with an inner rim that has not been abused. The taste, when I dry-puff it is of a clean pipe, with no ghosts. Used.
6” long, bowl 1.85” tall. Weight: 1 5/8 oz., 47 grams.
