About
E. Andrew Briars. A unique blend of creative and classic craftsmanship combined to delight the most discriminating briar enthusiast, using well-aged Italian, Corsican, and Greek briar fashioned in imaginative free-hand and timeless traditional shapes.
Production and quantities are limited due to the special nature of the product, style and variety are subject only to the limits of imagination.
Pipes are available in both sandblast and smooth finishes. Sand blast pipes are genuine sand blasts, of rugged appearance with no attempt to conceal nature. All pipes are conditioned in the oldest and most expensive method to provide a long lasting pipe of superb quality. Pipes are earth-tone colored from golden tan through oranges, browns, reds, dark reds, and black.
