This is a steal for those who know what they’re buying. This line was produced by Kaywoodie from the 1950s ending in 1971. It was intended to compete with the best of the best at that time, specifically aiming at Dunhill. In fact, Stephen Ogdon came from Dunhill to oversee this line. According to Pipedia, only 1 in 300 pieces of briar was good enough to produce an Heirloom. This piece is a Grp. 5. It is unsmoked so the condition is ‘new.’ The bowl is uncoated (is that unusual for a Kaywoodie product?) and the stem material is para rubber, a top grade vulcanite.
5.45” long, bowl 1.5” tall. Weight: 1 3/8 oz., 38 grams.
