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. Nevertheless when this idea is applied to a very good block of briar – it turns into such an amazing huge lovat!

The pipe doesn’t have markings. The lenghts is 16.5 cm, bowl’s hight is 5.0 cm. External and internal diameters of this bowl are 3.5 cm and 2.5 cm. The depth is 4.1 cm and this pipe weights 35 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

Denmark, 1980-90s “He could have been an ambassador for his country, but instead he became an ambassador for Danish pipes”. Bjarne Nielsen’s career was really untypical and unique. Many pipe makers came from different areas, there were engineers, telecommunication technicians, blacksmiths, and so on and so forth. However that was a highly unexpected move for…

England, 1960s It’s perhaps the best example how a simple and almost purely geometric shape can turn out into an unexpectedly wonderful exciting work of art. A little bit freehand, a little bit lovat and eye catching straight grain briar – the very high grade (“Selected” was next to the incomparable highest “Supreme” line) Lane…

USA, unsmoked The origin of this pipe isn’t very much clear. Some experts mention Excelsior pipes made in USA and England, but it look rather like an Italian (or Italian American) – nice briar, rich rustication, tasty combination of the “raw” unstained finish (a little bit polished) and bright acrylic shank extension plus stem. Exactly…
