Carnivale
These are our top of the range pipes – A Touch of Class with a Flash of Colour.

The first is the mammoth (18.5cms from base of bowl to tip of mouthpiece) Roc Egg.  Fashioned from a stunning piece of Plateau briar this pipe has been cleverly carved so that the bowl is offset to the left making it more comfortable to hold in the hand.

A stunning pipe – and the only one like it in the world.

The second is a large ringed billiard, a beautiful large hand filling pipe that will keep you puffing.




Here are three more.

NEW HAND MADE RANGE

NEW BATCH OF HANDMADE PIPES

I am pleased to announce that the latest batch of our own handmade pipes is ready.  These have all been made from the finest Greek briar and finished to the highest standards.

It is important to realise that the overwhelming majority of these pipes are unique, they do not conform to any particular pattern or form but are created solely by the imagination of the carver and the path the briar takes him.
Briar is a natural material and has been formed over decades by nature herself.  Sometimes there will be small imperfections in the briar itself.  There are several ways to deal with these.  Some makers dye the briar with a highly coloured dye; some rusticate the finish to hide them (That’s why a lot of very well known makers started using a sandblast finish).  Here we take an entirely different view.  These imperfections are part of the material and as such deserve to be left alone, and become part of the overall finish of the pipe.   We feel that our patrons prefer a 100% genuine article.

As you can see our pipes are now stamped with our trademark.  This consists of a rampant lion alongside the initials B.O.B.   This stands for ‘Brotherhood of the Briar’.

They are also stamped ‘Hand Made in Wales’

If they don’t have these marks they’re not ours!

Before you light up, just sit in your favourite chair for an hour holding your new treasure, feel the silky smooth finish, the rounded curves and sways.  And then when you are quite ready gently fill with your favourite tobacco and puff away happy in the knowledge that you are smoking a genuine one off!

All pipes come compete with certificate of authenticity, a special pipe bag and pipe cleaners, and of course a storage box.

All prices are exclusive of post and packing
