Barling Trafalgar The Very Finest 1819 The Barling Trafalgar 1819 "The Very Finest" is a classic English curved Rhodesian made from, you guessed it, The very finest briar blocks. Only the best of the best make it, as the pipes are sanded and given a light natural stain which leaves no space for covering up blemishes and imperfections. Each pipe comes with a hammered nickel band and the classic lions head metal inlay on the stem. The name is a tribute to the district of London not far from Regents Park where Benjamin Barling founded his first workshop back in 1812.
