England, 1960s An amazing and extremely elegant Charatan’s Make pipe of their best period (“Lane era”), i.e. late 1960s – early 1970s, when the glory of Charatan’s eclipsed all competitors, including Dunhill. Pleasant middle size acorn shaped pipe. Sincerely recommended!
England, 1960s A fantastic and incredibly rare Charatan’s Make pipe of their best period (“Lane era”), i.e. late 1960s – early 1970s, when the glory of Charatan’s eclipsed all competitors, including Dunhill. Magnificent full bent (also known as “Hungarian” shape or Oom Paul)!
England, 1950-70s H. Simmons was one of the most famous London tobacconists with a long history and very nice tobacco shop in Burlington Arcade. The pipes were ordered from different sources including the Dunhill company. In 1980 the business was acquired by Dunhill. We can’t confirm that exactly this pipe was made by Dunhill, but…
England, 1993 Dunhill Dress pipes are relatively young; the series was introduced in 1973 and it is distinguished by the dark (in the most cases black) smooth finish. Despite dark stain hides natural briar grain the “Dress” pipes look luxury indeed!
England, 1950-70s The pipe represents a very lucky conjunction of two successful GBD ideas: the Prehistoric grade (distinguished by its fantastically wild and aggressive sandblast finish) and very well balanced and natural 269 bull dog shape. The pipe was made in 1970s the latest (before the company merged with Comoy’s) and promises a wonderful smoke…
England Just a “London Made” pipe from the middle of the XX century. Many of such pipes were made by Parker-Hardcastle’s, but due to some unknown reasons didn’t obtain an official manufacturer stamping. Pleasant and comfortable classical English sandblasted bent billiard for an affordable price!
England The pipe has no stamping, but the patented DC (“double comfort”) stem, the unique shape, the almost ideal straight grain say undoubtedly it’s one of the higher grade Charatan’s (at least Distinction or Selected). The pipe was obtained together with a fantastic Colin Fromm pipe, very probably the pipe could be carved by this…
England A nicely made English pipe. The heavy bowled bent shape and cross cut grain look quite similar to Charatan’s products from 1960’s, but the pipe is just a beautiful item regardless its origin. And the dark spot on the bowl’s back doesn’t prevent a smoking pleasure.
England, 1960s The pipe seems to be one of the very first Lane era sandblasted pipes: despite the “Lane” stamping (a shape number with the “X”) the deep and “wild” sandblasted finish is rather specific for family era production. The shape (such a bent stack) is very rare and was named “Burlington” in shape charts.
England The pipe belongs to one of the most successful and popular series produced on the John Redman pipe factory in London in the middle of the XX century. A good smoker with nice grain and quite rare and really attractive shape – volcano. The bowl had a few indentations, mostly on the bottom –…
