CONFRÉRIE DES MAÎTRES PIPIERS unsmoked

April 19, 2014September 26, 2022

France

The name of the pipe means “Conference of the pipe masters”. It’s at the same time both an event conducted in St Claude, France for all pipe manufacturers, professionals and enthusiasts in this area (a heart of French pipe industry!) and an association of these people and companies. So this is an event pipe made especially for this great community!

We are not going to guess who exactly made the pipe. There’s no sense – the pipe itself is amazing, lightweight, shining and still unsmoked. Great addition to our collection!

The pipe marking is “Confrerie \ des matiers pipers”. The lenght is 13.1 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.3 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 2.5 cm and 2.0 cm. The depth is 3.8 cm and this pipe weights 32 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem,air cooler.
