England, 1930s A very interesting large bowl billiard pipe from the Hardcastle’s family period (before the complete acquisition by Dunhill in the 1946). However Dunhill is already invisibly present as the major shareholder (49% of stocks), but doesn’t influence technical and commercial issues of the company. The pipe was made most likely before the WWII,…

England, 1950-70s H. Simmons was one of the most famous London tobacconists with a long hystory and very nice tobacco shop in the Burlington Arcade. The pipes were ordered from different sources including the Dunhill company. In the 1980 the business was acquired by Dunhill. We can’t confirm that this pipe was made by Dunhill;…
France Imagine a monastery isolated from the world somewhere far away in mountains or in a wood. The time is going, but old books, old ceremonies are keeped here, a language don’t used in the world anymore sounds within these walls… Similarly Genod brand is in fact a separate and very old branch of the…
Denmark, 1980s A really wonderful sweet pipe from the most popular and respected Danish tobacconist. The pipe was made most probably in the 1980s or 1990s. Elegant lightweight and stylish blasted billiard with the uncommon hexagonal shank!
Ireland, 1970-80s Everyone knows that Peterson’s pipes are great smokers! And that Peterson’s Shystem pipes are the greatest. You shouldn’t be confused with the stamping – it’s the same Peterson’s system but there’s nice carving instead of a metallic end cap. Very rare Peterson pipe! The series was produced in 1970-80s.
England, 1960s The pipe seems to came from the very beginning of the Lane era (early 1960s) and very probably made of family period briar: the stamping is already in line with Lane standards, but such the dublin shape and such kind of briar are more typical for earlier, Reuben Charatan’s period. Nice and collectable…
Ireland Not every Irish pipe is a Peterson. For example, in the 1970-80s Bruyere Pipe Limited (B.P.L.) from Dublin brought confusion to ranks of collectors and admirers of the Irish pipes. Of course, B.P.L didn’t compete Peterson for a very long time, but it made a number of very nice smoking devices. On the…
Denmark A good, practical and moderately smoked Danish pipe with a very nice grain and design – such stylish conjunction of the liverpool and chimney (or a tall billiard) shapes. There’s no detailed information about Kingswell brand, the pipe looks very similar to Erik Nording products.
