SØREN

SØREN

Denmark

“Søren” is the pre name of Søren Refbjerg Rasmussen (more known as Refbjerg) – famous Danish artisan and founder of the small company (8-12 craftsmen in 1970s). The very best pipes were finished by the carver himself and stamped “Refbjerg”, while more affordable creations were marked “Søren”. Thus the pipe is not from the extremely expensive and the very top graded ones, nevertheless it gladdens by its stylish shape and pleasant blast.

The pipe markings are “SØREN \ HAND CARVED \ COPENHAGEN”. The length is 15.0 cm (5.9″), bowl’s height is 6.0 cm (2.36″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.7 cm (1.46″), internal diameter is 2.3 cm (0.9″). The depth is 4.1 cm (1.61″) and this pipe weights 44 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has normal smoked wear with some scratches and roughness but we didn’t identify any critical issues. The air hole driling is a bit off center, what perhaps isn’t a huge problem for an experienced smoker but we offer the pipe with a good discount.
