This time we bring you pipes from four great makers - Kent Rasmussen, Tom Eltang, Soren Refbjerg from Denmark - and the Top-of-the-Pops pipe maker from USA, Jeffery Burt-Gracik - J. Alan Pipes.
To start with Jeffery, we get a great batch of four pipes - “get”, be course they are on their way to us from the states. If they are just close to the snapshots we got from Jeff, they are all spectacular. By now we know and trust in the engineering and finish from Jeff and also very much in his design of pipes in great balance and harmony. You can look forward to a fantastic Poker-like sitter, blast and with an exiting staining. The pictures also reveal a fine classic light bent smooth Apple and to good looking smooth freehand’s, one in a “Golden Contrast”-like finish and one in a reddish stain. With a bit of luck, they will arrive at the same time as you read this...
From Kent we got two stunning pieces - a Blowfish and a Sea-Lion. You must see these pipes as they are inspiring and fantastic in shape and finish, as always when Kent does his best.
We are very exited to receive two of the new shape from Tom Eltang - the “Tubos”. Inspired by the beautiful factory buildings from the beginning of the industrial revolution Tom has created a whole new shape. The shape is very simple - "just" a bend tube - but it holds unlimited possibilities for variations in the detail and finish. You will find a black blast model with smooth natural top and mounted with a horn-dish where the stem meets the mouthpiece. The other is in Toms signature rustication also with smooth rim and mounted with an artistic acrylic disc where the stem meets the mouthpiece. This is a very promising and modern model - check it out...
Finally we are proud to give you a batch of fine pipes from Soren Refbjerg. We get way to few pipes from Soren, and when it happens, they stay only a short time on our shelves. Soren is very skilled and has a life long experience as pipe maker. For those of you who don’t know Soren, he was the maker behind a large number of the W.Ø. Larsen shop-pipes. You get a great value for your money in the fine classic models from Refbjerg - you must take a look.
