    Description

    Molina UNSMOKED Bent Bulldog (105)/ 360 Ring Grain/ Italy
    Molina pipes has its origins in Barasso, in Lombardy, Italy. It was born from what was left of the old Rossi pipes factory, that started in the early 1900s. Molina's inheritance from Rossi pipes does not only consist of the factory but also the machinery and methods of production. The name Molina refers to a district where you could find mills powered by water.
    Here’s an un-smoked Molina Bulldog shaped pipe awaiting its maiden voyage. And with ring grain around the bowl and birds-eye end grain in the heel, a sweet voyage it should be. Draft hole is dead center flush with the bottom of the chamber. The tenon to mortise union, made more robust with a Nichol band is snug and flush. Pipe does not accept a filter. Pipe weighs
    1. 85 ounces (52.3 grams)
    No fills. No handling marks.
    Regarding graining, the well-respected authority on the subject, Carl Ehwa, in his landmark book, Pipes & Tobaccos, writes:
    “When selecting briar pipes, quality of wood and workmanship and the type of graining are the prime considerations. Pipes made of dense, straight grain wood …
    have a tendency to absorb moisture much more slowly, which means they will smoke more sweetly and need to be rested less often. The bird's–eye, or end grain at the bottom of the bowl of a straight grain pipe absorbs moisture more quickly than other grains. Yet, because of its position, it allows the moisture to drain away from the tobacco and the channel, thus keeping the smoke dry.” ~ Pg 128
