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
