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…

Straight Grain Lovat

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….

LORD Real Briar 1920

USA We can’t confirm that this pipe was cut out of briar of 1920 (but who knows, might by the carver did really found old stocks of “Doctor Grabow” or “Medico”), but the material was selected undoubtedly intelligently and with the excellent taste. Such grain could be a subject of pride for any Danish pipe…

USA, 1940-50s A product of the Empire Briar Pipe Company Inc. of New York, most probably from the 1940-50s. The pipe did require some more attention than just a clean up . The stummel had a few dings which were carefully and reliably patched, the right side of the shank seems to be not ideally…
