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 A poker pipe is close to a sandwich. Both pipe and sandwich were invented for card players to make the game more comfortable for gentlemen. Of course it would be interesting to look at the pipe for chess players, we suspect it should be something like the Charatan’s pot – our another today’s pipe.

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…

Classic Apple

USA A skillfully made apple from 1970-80s USA. We don’t know which motives or reasons prevented to leave a marking on the pipe, but the master has nothing to be ashamed of: everything is thought over exactly and elegantly. Most likely the pipe was prepared for one of the American tobakonists.

Excelsior De Luxe 904
April 28, 2018September 26, 2022
USA, unsmoked The origin of this pipe isn’t very much clear. Some experts mention Excelsior pipes made in USA and England, but it look rather like an Italian (or Italian American) – nice briar, rich rustication, tasty combination of the “raw” unstained finish (a little bit polished) and bright acrylic shank extension plus stem. Exactly…
