Windsor





Windsor was a Sasieni factory second that was stamped with the “Sasieni London Made” nomenclature. This is a very light pipe, and is actually carved to be a sitter- there is even a slight shaping to the bottom of the stem, near the shank, that enables it to sit flat. The bowl depth is ~1 ¼”, and the chamber width is ¾”. The biggest challenge I have with this pipe is packing it correctly. The draw is extremely open and unless it is packed very firm, I can’t keep it lit for longer than about 4 puffs. When the tobacco is loaded well, you can get around a 40 minute smoke out of this one. It has a standard tenon and feeds a pipe cleaner all the way through with ease. The bowl walls are moderately thin, but the rustication keeps it from ever becoming overly hot. It’s a good knock-around pipe for the car or the yard.
