HARDCASTLE Sandblast
England Great, convincing and unsmoked product of the Alfred Dunhill company.
NØRDING hunter pipe 2012
Denmark Erik Nording is not only a great pipe maker (as well as the production manager and pipe seller of course :-)) but also a very enthusiastic hunter. Therefore every year since 1995 he produces a pipe inspired by a wild animal under the common name “Hunter pipes”. With help of Danish artist Mogens Andersen…
NØRDING
Denmark A solid and comfortable Danish style billiard made by Erik Nørding company from Denmark. As an engineer, a blacksmith, a carver and a production manager, Erik found perhaps the best balance between production volumes and quality standards (unlike many other manufacturers). A wonderful example!
HARDCASTLE Special Quality 85
England, 1946-67 A nice and practical Hardcastle’s pipe from the early “”Dunhill” era of the Hardcastle’s history, it was born in the period from 1956 to 1967, i.e. at the time of a harmonious merge of “family” technologies and Dunhill management.
HARDCASTLE’S Argyle
England, 1946-67 Argyle is obviously the Savory’s brand, but it seems that the pipe comes from the time, when both Savory and Hardcastle did belong to the Dunhill family and there were no objections to make a “Hardcastle’s Argyle”. This is really a nice pipe with a very stylish (Hardcastle’s) “weighted” bent shape and a…
HARDCASTLE’S Old Bruyere 173
England, 1930s A very good and well preserved pipe from the legendary Hardcastle’s family times, i.e. made before acquisition by Dunhill in 1946 (and the most likely before the WWII). Moderately smoked elegant classical English prince pipe! Sincerely recommended!
PETERSON’S Kapruf 150
Ireland A pleasant lightly smoked Peterson pipe from the new (republic) era. The pipe was smoked only a few times and didn’t required too much effort for restoration and refreshing. Good addition to any collection!
PETERSON’S Kapruf pre republic
Ireland, 1940s A “pre republic” era collectable Peterson pipe made most likely between 1945 and 1949, when the manufacturer returned old stamping “MADE IN IRELAND” on pipes. A pleasant lightweight bent with a deep distinct blast finish!
COMOY’S Guildhall 296B
England, 1950-70s An amazing Comoy’s product made during the last pre-Cadogan period (1950-70’s). Among others Comoy’s brands and subbrands Guildhalls are always an object of a special interest and attraction of collectors from many countries – who knows because of the glory and authority of the manufacturer or because of a mystery aura of the…
SØREN 40
Denmark “Søren” is the pre name of Søren Refbjerg Rasmussen (more known as Refbjerg) – famous Danish artisan and founder of the small company (8-12 craftsmen in 1970’s). The very best pipes were finished by the carver himself and stamped “Refbjerg” while more affordable creations were marked “Søren”. Thus the pipe is not from the…
