Big Ben Phantom 495 Red Polish with Nature Top

The Big Ben Phantom 495 Red Polish with Nature Top Pipe is a striking example of traditional Dutch pipe design, combining substantial construction with distinctive colouring and a heritage dating back to the 1960s.

Part of Big Ben's Phantom collection, this characterful pipe draws inspiration from the robust designs that helped establish the brand's reputation for practical, well-made smoking pipes. The series is particularly recognised for its thick-walled briar bowls and solid construction, giving each model a substantial and reassuring appearance.

This version of the Phantom 495 features an attractive two-tone red polished finish, complemented by a contrasting natural briar rim. The exposed wood provides a lighter accent against the rich red colouring, highlighting the individual character and grain of the briar.

A matching red acrylic mouthpiece completes the design, creating a bold and cohesive appearance while introducing a contemporary touch to the traditional silhouette.

The generously proportioned bowl walls reflect the Phantom series' longstanding emphasis on durability and strength, making this a distinctive alternative to more slender pipe designs.

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

With its vibrant red finish, natural briar detailing and substantial proportions, this distinctive Big Ben offers an appealing combination of classic pipe-making heritage and eye-catching modern styling.
