Before the historic English marques consolidated in 1980, Orlik was turning out absolute masterclasses in briar geometry from their Old Bond Street home. This premium A116 Bent Billiard is a magnificent survivor from that Pre-Cadogan golden era.
Stamped with the coveted "Hand Cut" nomenclature on the vulcanite stem, it features the iconic, flush-fit brass "O" ring. The condition is staggering: the warm, tight cross-grain finish is immaculate, the rim is pristine, and it has been so lightly smoked over the last 50+ years that it’s barely even broken in. A true piece of London pipe-making history that’s ready to be put right back to work.
Since everyone has their own preferred methods to clean and sterilise internals of the shank and stem, we have intentionally not done this.
If you are interested in purchasing this pipe, please use the contact form, we are also open to receiving offers on any pipe.
