Straight natural finish pipe

A pipe with a natural finish:

This pretty briar pipe was made in Saint-Claude (French Jura region). This piece has a natural finish, meaning that no wax or lacquer was put on it. This explains why the wood has such a light color and why the wood grain is visible to the naked eye! 

The shape, a smoker's favorite:

This piece's straight shape is typical of pipes made in Saint-Claude, making it fit very comfortably in the hand. This pipe comes with a metal filter and a vulcanite stem.
