GEORG JENSEN Jen Briar Gigant S62

GEORG JENSEN Jen Briar Gigant S62

Denmark

It’s of course a Georg Jensen product: you may find in the Internet a lot of S62 shape pipes with the traditional Jensen nomenclature. It’s difficlult to guess why the product was stamped with another series name except some unclear business reasons: we didn’t spot any difference to other Jensen pipes.

The pipe marking is “GIGANT \ JEN BRIAR”, “MADE IN \ DENMARK”, “S62”. The length is 14.3 cm (5.63″), the bowl’s height is 5.9 cm (2.32″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.7 cm (1.46″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 5.3 cm (2.09″) and this pipe weights 47 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. ​The stem is newly made of the fresh piece of vulcanite so we can consider the pipe as a “partially unsmoked” :-).
