BLAKEMAR BRIARS

BLAKEMAR BRIARS

$80.00

This pipe hails from a highly respected and conservative English family manufacturer, Blakemar. The brand is named after the village of Blakesley and Thomas Martin, who established the company in 1890. Over time, management passed down to Thomas’ son, Richard Martin, and then to Richard’s nephew, Michael Billington. Despite these changes and relocating production to Litchborough, the company remained true to its policy of conservative evolution, occasionally introducing new shapes or 9 mm filters while still preserving the same quality pipes that have been produced since 1890. As noted by Pipedia, these pipes are a true joy to behold and smoke.

The featured pipe is an excellent example of Blakemar’s production. Boasting a classical shape reminiscent of Peterson’s XL12/XL17, it is capacious, elegant, and quintessentially English.

Questa pipa proviene da un produttore di famiglia inglese molto rispettato e conservatore, Blakemar. Il marchio prende il nome dal villaggio di Blakesley e Thomas Martin, che fondò l’azienda nel 1890. Nel corso del tempo, la gestione passò al figlio di Thomas, Richard Martin, e poi al nipote di Richard, Michael Billington. Nonostante questi cambiamenti e il trasferimento della produzione a Litchborough, l’azienda è rimasta fedele alla sua politica di evoluzione conservativa, introducendo occasionalmente nuove forme o filtri da 9 mm pur conservando le stesse pipe di qualità che sono state prodotte dal 1890. Come notato da Pipedia, queste pipe sono una vera gioia da vedere e da fumare.

COMOY'S Royal 185
COMOY’S Royal 185
The Comoy's Royal grade is both one of the oldest and one of the rarest to date. Royal Comoy pipes appeared in the late 1930s and were then considered the absolute highest grade. However, very soon, the Royal pipes were replaced by the Blue Ribband series. After the Second World War the Royal series reappeared as one of the top lines until it was discontinued in the early 1980s. In any case, all our sources agree that "The Royal has always been a high-grade Comoy."Indeed, it is a marvelous briar pipe with superb grain and amazing contrast, featuring a skillfully made golden collar with the initials of Henri Comoy. (Henri Comoy was the son of the company founder, François Comoy, and the first Comoy in the UK, which is why his name holds great importance for the company's history.) The pipe dates back to the 1950s-70s, as indicated by the encircled "MADE IN LONDON" marking. The pipe was lightly smoked, and the marks of the lathe are still noticeable inside the chamber.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below

HARDCASTLE'S Dryconomy 72
HARDCASTLE’S Dryconomy 72
The stamping "BRITISH MADE" clearly indicates that this pipe was produced during the Hardcastle family's ownership of the company, prior to Alfred Dunhill's complete acquisition in 1948. Given that Hardcastle's factory was unable to obtain briar during WWII, it is most likely that the pipe dates back to the 1930s. The tenon is designed to accommodate a thin paper filter (approximately 3.5 mm in diameter; we have included an original sample), but of course the pipe can be smoked without any filter.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below

SAVINELLI Rock Grain
SAVINELLI Rock Grain
An exciting discovery for Savinelli collectors: the crowned serpent logo was only stamped on Savinelli Rock Grain and some of the Savinelli Hand Made (Autograph) freehands. Although this pipe has no shape number, the rich and distinctive rustication is reminiscent of some pre-1970 Savinelli products. While the logo has faded slightly, it is still clearly visible.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
