For many years, Bari produced the best value pipes in the known pipe world (whatever that means. It’s my site, so I make the rules here). At different times, the holder of that title, in my educated opinion was Bjarne pipes, Jarl, and even Stanwell. All Danish pipes, whether by chance or some enigmatic universal design. (Hey, if there’s a god with interest in human affairs, that god can do whatever it wants, including manipulating pipes, right?). Well, given that, this Bari is from their reign as best value pipes. This Panel is in very good condition, with just one tooth indent on the top of the stem, and too slight to be of concern, plus it’s not where teeth usually alight on a stem. Grp. 5 size, wide-open draw and vulcanite stem. The Bari name is on the stem, and on the shank, but the nomenclature is buffed down a bit.
