ROYAL SOVEREIGN 72
England Let’s continue! Let’s continue our discovery of Orlik pipes without any touch of Cadogan. At the same time we begin promoution of one of the most requested and liked shapes – canadian pipes.
BEN WADE Two Tone 188
England, 1960s It’s great to be an Englishman! You can stamp your name on a pipe and all “James”, “John” or “Ben” briars will be recognized, appreciated and loved by pipe smokers. 🙂
G. W. SIMS Bent Billiard unsmoked
England, 1960-70s The pipe markings are “G.W. SIMS \ LONDON MADE.” Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.
The Guildhall London Pipe 164
England, 1950-70s There was a legend about a white spot, which was made out of a whole elephant. That is why all pipes with the white spot are so expensive. Perhaps these three aluminium stripes on Guildhall pipes were made from German bombers which were shot-down over London. And as far as there were no…
Orlik De Luxe L155
England The name Orik sounds exactly like the name of kozak’s hetman (leader) Pylyp Orlyk. Unfortunately it seems to be just a coincidence. The Orlik Tobacco company was founded by three Danish companies and we are living in the country of “Golde Gate”. Actually GG makes not such bad pipes but they don’t have this…
Bewlay Popular 156
England “Hello, BWM? This is “Holosiivsky” auto selling center calling. Could you please produce a batch of sedans for us and please don’t put any “BMW” logos – just the name of our shop please. Yes, one week would be fine, will look forward. Bye!”
Canberra London Made
England We have a suspicion that the pipe was born in 1979 when a carver saw the “Alien” movie for the first time. Of course, it’s a joke, but the pipe’s shape is extraterrestrial indeed. By the way, we have met a Sasieni one of the same shape recently.
Grosvenor London Made
England This pipe is not so easy to identify as we may expect from a straight shape pipe. During different time periods the brand name “Grosvenor” was used both by Charatan and Sasieni. Nevertheless neither from the pipe’s nomenclature nor from it’s shape we can say definitely that the pipe belongs to one of these…
Parker of London Bark
England Parker Pipe Co is one more honorous pipe-making company finally merged with the enterprise of Mr. Dunhill. And now all Parkers and Dunhills are being produced on the same equipment and by the same carvers. On the other hand such a closeness can be an advantage. When during the WWII Dunhill and Hardcastle were…
Hardcastle London Made Reject
England The pipe was very lightly smoked, the chamber is the perfect condition except a very small scratch inside, probably made on a production line.
