England

The Loewe pipe from the best period made before 1967 (before acquisition by Cadogan). Fantastic lightweight classical billiard – the subject of hunting and the obsession of many experienced collectors!

The pipe markings are “L&CO \ STANDARD”, “BRAZILIAN”, “LOEWE \ LONDON W.”. The length is 14.2 cm, bowl’s hight is 3.8 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 2.9 cm and 1.7 cm. The depth is 3.2 cm and this pipe weights 20 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has a few small scratches made by a cleaning tool – they will dissapear very soon under a new cake.

England The Frenchman Emil Loewe was seemingly the first in England who started making pipes of briar in 1856. And he was seemingly one of the first introduced “military” mouthpieces (spigots) – for a simple reason to facilitate the production of replacement stems for customers. Since then and till absorption by Cadogan in 1979 Loewe occupies strongly…

England, 1976-81 It would be very much boring if everything was unambiguous and transparent with pipes origin history. But, fortunately, not all producers behaved as Dunhill with their obligatory nearly hundred years stamped year suffixes (however, Dunhill was not always pedantic too :-)). Here is, for example, a very rare (some collectors write “extremely rare”)…
