Grant Batson is a renowned Nashville-based artisan who transitioned from a career as an elite guitar maker to a top-tier pipemaker in 2011. Studying under masters like Todd Johnson and Teddy Knudsen, he has developed a style that blends organic, artistic shaping with flawless technical execution.
This 2025 release features his signature 25 GB stamp and a distinctive wood plane logo on the shank. The pipe showcases a rugged, deep sandblast finish on the bowl, which transitions into a smooth, light-colored wood adornment at the shank end. It is fitted with a custom, ivory-toned acrylic stem that complements the natural warmth of the briar.
