England, 1960-70s

One of the most famous English tobacco shops, Bewlay & Co. Ltd was founded in 1870 at 49 W. Strand, London by Jewish family Elkan, who immigrated from the Netherlands. On the early stage the business was positioned as a tobacco retailer, Bewlay was one of the first, who started to sell cigars. Of course, in the beginning of the XX century briar pipes had become very popular and Bewlay’s offered a number of models made by Barling, Charatan’s, Loewe, Sasieni and Orlik. Bewlay’s was one of the first companies exported pipes to the USA. Some admirers claim that Bewlay’s gave Joel Sasieni his start (the Sasieni family was from Jewish immigrants too, lived in the same area and it seems attended at the same synagogue). In 1937 the family business was sold to Salmon & Gluckstein, already being controlled by Imperial Tobacco. The shop chain was closed in 1980s. Our today’s pipe was made by Charatan’s in 1960’s. This is actually the Charatan’s 489 shape.

The pipe markings are “Bewlay \ EXTRA \ LONDON MADE”, “REJECT”. The length is 13.6 cm (5.35″), bowl’s height is 4.5 cm (1.77″). External diameter of the bowl is 5.3 cm (2.09″), internal diameter is 2.3 cm (0.91″). The depth is 3.8 cm (1.5″) and this pipe weights 47 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber (looks a bit out of the bowls center and has some inner and external rim darkening) has been protected with a break-in coat. The pipe comes with the original box.

England, 1980-90s Almost every pipe needs a stand, so why not to combine the stand and the pipe itself? Looks very useful for a man whose desk is covered with reports, diagrams, financial magazines and whatever else we can imagine 🙂 A beautiful and fresh implementation of this idea from the 1980-90’s made by Comoy’s….
