G. W. SIMS
$100.00
As Pipedia notes, “G.W. Sims was one of the few English pipe makers who produced Danish style freehands carved from specially selected plateau briar. Mr. Sims willingly made pipes to personal specifications”.
Today, we have the pleasure of presenting an example of just such work by the former Charatan’s carver and later an independent London artisan. Everything is as promised — both Danish style and plateau briar. It is also evident that the customer appreciated the pipe, as it shows signs of having been smoked very carefully and with affection.

GBD New Era 508 unsmoked
$140.00
The New Era series has been a constant presence in catalogs and guides from at least the 1930s through the 1970s, during the most respected periods of the company’s history. Over the years, New Era pipes were positioned either among the top grades or in a segment well above average, meaning they were never considered simple, inexpensive working tools. It was therefore especially pleasant to find a pipe from this series in an unsmoked condition.

GENOD 605
$75.00
Imagine a monastery, isolated from the world somewhere deep in the mountains or in a forest. Time passes, yet old books and ancient ceremonies are preserved here, and a language no longer spoken in the outside world still resonates within these walls.
Similarly, the Genod brand represents a separate and very old branch of the French Comoy tradition that remained in St-Claude while the main company migrated, changed owners, and merged. The oldest Comoy workshop, known as Comoy-David, was renamed Genod only in the 1970s.
As indicated by the marking, this particular pipe was made to order by Iwan Ries & Co., the renowned American tobacconist from Chicago.

Roche Briar
$58.00
Experts at Smokingpipes.com suggest that Roche Briar is one of the many sub-brands produced by Savinelli, pointing to the similarity of shapes and the instantly recognizable rustication style. We also had the impression that today’s Roche piece and the pre-1970 Savinelli Capri Root Briar from our own archives are very close relatives, so the assumption is most likely correct. The condition of this pipe is excellent, and we can safely recommend it.

KAYWOODIE Ruf-Tone
$59.00
American artisans from Kaywoodie have always delighted collectors with a generous variety of shapes and finishes — sometimes simply pleasant and utilitarian, sometimes extremely apt and thoughtful. And, of course, our today’s Ruf-Tone belongs to such the brightest and most successful: the artificially aged, contrasting finish combined with deep rustication is literally mesmerizing, and the carefully chosen shapes create the illusion of a deep-sea monster… or a creature from deep space.
The aluminum stinger with three holes and the logo application on the mouthpiece hint that this pipe was made at the end of the last century, most likely in the 1980s. This assumption is also confirmed by our sources: the Ruf-Tone series was launched in 1977.

AMPHORA X-tra 729-649
$48.00
A vivid and elegant example of cooperation between two good old Dutch companies:
Douwe Egberts, the grocery giant which, since 1753, has supplied Dutch and international consumers with tea, coffee, and fine tobaccos — most notably Amphora, a blend popular not only in the Netherlands but also overseas.
Elbert Gubbels & Sons B.V., established in 1870 (and since 1972 also known as The Royal Dutch Pipe Factory) — the home of Big Ben, Bugatti, Hilson, Porsche Design pipes, and of course, Amphora.
We would date today’s pipe to the 1960s, based on its design, overall condition, and stamping.
Interestingly, the later history of both Amphora brands turned out to be quite eventful. Douwe Egberts’ tobacco division was sold to Imperial Tobacco in 1988, and in 2015 it passed to the Danish company Mac Baren, which — judging by feedback from both casual smokers and experts — breathed new life into Amphora.
Elbert Gubbels & Sons B.V. went bankrupt in 2012, but the production of Amphora pipes was taken over by Dr. Grabow — now offering new and interesting shapes, though naturally without the traditional ‘Holland’ stamping.
