Executive Imported Briar

August 30, 2013September 26, 2022

USA

This is another one lightweight, practical and not too much smoked american pipe. It’s difficult to say which pipe chain wanted to resemble Charatan and was selling the “Executive” pipes. But that doesn’t matter: the wood is good enough, the grain is nice and interesting, the engineering of the pipe is really of a good level. We do undoubtly recommend!

The pipe marking is “EXECUTIVE \ IMPORTED BRIAR”. The lenghts is 12.7 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.2 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 2.9 cm and 2.0 cm. The depth is 3.1 cm and this pipe weights 29 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, air cooler.

USA, 1930s The pipe comes to us with the 1930s collection, so it’s probably one of the early Marxmans – the company has been founded in 1934 by Robert (Bob) L. Marx, former William Demuth Company employee and merged with Mastercraft in 1953. Allthough the company didn’t use very expensive briar, very fast Marxman pipes…

USA The brand we are not familiar with. Our sources (books and web sites) don’t give any hints either. The most probably it’s an American pipe. Nice straight grain indeed!

Westminster Junior

USA There was a variety of Westminster pipes produced on both sides of the Atlantic, but the stamping “Foreign made” tells it’s rather an American product, thus the list of possible manufacturers includes James B. Hall, Westminster NYC, L&H Sterns – we can’t say for sure. Just a compact, nice, moderately smoked and affordable American…

USA A quite interesting sample of a some kind of a noname high grade. The pipe was born in the 1980s in the USA. It’s really American – both by the country of acquisition and by the style of carving. The idea is simple and functional; it seems the shape is rather trivial and tested….
