Big Ben Phantom Tan Polish 495

The Big Ben Phantom Tan Polish 495 Pipe is a distinctive example of traditional Dutch pipe-making, combining robust vintage construction with carefully updated finishing and an appealing sense of history.

The Phantom 495 features a warm tan-brown polished briar bowl with substantial walls and a generously proportioned shank. A traditional nickel ring reinforces the connection between the shank and mouthpiece, providing additional strength while contributing to the pipe's classic appearance.

Perhaps its most distinctive feature is the original horn mouthpiece, a material commonly used in pipe production during the 1950s and 1960s. This authentic vintage detail complements the polished briar and reinforces the pipe's historical character.

Designed to accommodate a 9mm filter, the Phantom 495 combines traditional materials with practical functionality.

With its robust construction, classic components and carefully applied finish, this characterful Big Ben offers an appealing opportunity to enjoy a genuine piece of Dutch pipe-making heritage.
