P. Viou Super Bruyere Extra 140 S Smooth Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, French Estates

P. Viou pipes were originally made by Paul Viou, an early French artisan working around the early to mid-20th century. The P. Viou trademark was, however, later acquired by various major French pipe companies, including Vuillard and Genod. As with a couple of other P. Vious that came in recently I have a feeling this one will be from Genod, in whose safe hands the make has been for a while now (the Genod workshop, after all, has about 150 years of accumulated expertise in pipe making). This one’s a very traditional saddle billiard—nicely grained, modestly finished, ample in chamber, and wonderfully lightweight. The condition is very good. Chamber slightly over-reamed, some very slight scratches on the stem, and a couple of small fills on the exterior of the bowl.   Details: Length: 6″ / 152.4mm Bowl Width: 0.78 / 19.81mm Bowl Depth: 1.53″ / 38.86mm Weight: 1.2oz / 36g
