No. 1291 Bent Rhodesian Weight 59g / 2.4 ounces Tobacco Chamber: 1.6" x 0.9" dia (40mm x 22mm dia) An excellent example of the Classic Bent Rhodesian. In my opinion, the proportions are exactly right, producing a most elegant pipe. £120.00 |

No. 1293 Freehand Poker Weight 70g / 2.4 ounces Tobacco Chamber: 2.0" x 0.9" dia (49mm x 22mm dia) This is a wonderful demonstration of Bruto's skill. Unlike the Classic Poker, this has a rounded base. Set it down and it will gently rock to and fro before coming to rest - just like the child's toy of the little fat man who can't be knocked over. But it is more than a novelty - as you can see from the photographs, this pipe has wonderful grain - and, of course, the generous tobacco chamber that you would expect from a large Poker. Highly recommended.

No. 1294 Freehand Longshank Horn Weight 70g / 2.4 ounces Tobacco Chamber: 2.2" x 0.9" dia (54mm x 22mm dia) This is not a shape that one would usually associate with Bruto - but it is all the more welcome for that. The pipe has areas of good flame grain on both sides of the bowl (although birdseye gain is not much in evidence) and good thick bowl walls. £140.00 |

No. 1296 Freehand Zulu Weight 53g / 1.4 ounces Tobacco Chamber: 1.9" x 0.85" dia (47mm x 21mm dia) I really like the lines of this pipe - the shape is "just right" The grain is generally very good and unblemished apart from one small sand-spot on the rim - you just make it out on the overhead view of the pipe.

No. 1297 Chubby Billiard Weight 82g / 2.9 ounces Tobacco Chamber: 1.7" x 0.9" dia (42mm x 22mm dia) This Jumbo Billiard is a shape that Bruto does particularly well - and this is no exception. It is a big pipe, with real presence, yet retains all the subtlety of the Classic Billiard shape. |

No. 829 This is a lot of pipe for the money - that bowl is 2½" (63mm) tall. The striking, well defined flame grain is strong all around the bowl and there is plenty of birdseye underneath. Just two small sandpits on the front of the bowl prevented this handsome pipe from being graded higher.
