USA, 1960-70s

A quite moderately smoked legendary American Kaywoodie pipe made approximately in the 1960-70s. The pipe didn’t require too much efforts, it was rather a light cleanup than a restoration. Sincerely recommended for admirers of capacious chambers and American smoking tradition!

The pipe markings are “KAYWOODIE \ RELIEF (GRAIN)”, “149R”. The length is 15.0 cm (5.9″), bowl’s height is 3.8 cm (1.5″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.7 cm (1.46″), internal diameter is 2.3 cm (0.9″). The depth is 3.3 cm (1.3″) and this pipe weights 34 gr. Briar, plastic stem, aluminium air cooler.

USA, 1950s This pipe seems to be one of the first Kaywoodie Standard pipes: the series was introduced around 1950 and is still produced, but note the clover logo located on the top of the stem and the 4-hole stinger.

England, 1976 In the beginning Dunhill created Bruyere. And several years (1910-1917) it was the single brand made by the company of a firm and dense Calabrian briar.
