England

What’s good about English tobacconists is the possibility to get a pipe of a great brand for very democratic price in theirs shops. On the other hand it’s sometimes quite hard to say who actually made a specific pipe.

As an example here’s an excellent canadian Bewlay pipe. The Bewlay house was supplied by Charatan, Barling and Loewe. In our opinion it could be a product of Charatan or Barling (judging from the shape and the stem’s specifics). Even eminent gurus are unable to say more. So our opinions are dispersed 50 / 50.

However this aura of riddle makes the pipe even more attractive. And don’t forget its magnificent grain and very small weight! Undoubtedly recommended!

The pipe markings are “Bewlay \ POPULAR”, “LONDON MADE 0\ 01”. The length is 14.0 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.2 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 2.7 cm and 2.0 cm. The depth is 3.6 cm and this pipe weights 21 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem.

England, 1960-70s A Charatan’s pipe from the “Lane era” (1960 – middle 1970s), the period of the brightest blossoming of this brand, delightful shapes and grains, which eclipsed all others pipe makers including Dunhill. Obviously Charatan’s pipes should have got either double comfort (DC) or saddle stems. But it’s the canadian pipe from the Lane…

England, 1960s – 1991 This wonderful and full of life canadian pipe from Loewe & Co is at the same time a very interesting and not really easy for understanding piece of smoking pipes history.

USA This nice canadian shape pipe from 1950s required some more efforts than an usual pipe. First of all the stain and varnish was destroyed over many years and we decided to remove them all except pipe markings area. Second problem was a lost or damaged part of an air cooler and we had to…

England, 1960-70s Fribourg & Treyer was perhaps the most reputable English tobacconist. “While most collectors are familiar with the “Royal Appointment” accorded certain well-established businesses in England (most commonly seen on Dunhill packaging) FRIBOURG & TREYER’s not only held an identical appointment by the King of England, but they also had a similar “Royal Appointment”…
