London Castle - G. Huybrecht

[donjgiles]

Here is an old English house you do not see very often. I love canted, stack pipes and this one sports a pretty good blast.

Wow, love a textured blast like that!

Maybe not the best background for this pipe.

Still a bit monochromatic, but clearer. My phone doesn't have many bells and whistles.

I wonder where the name 'huybrecht' comes from, as it is a typical Flemish name. Is G. Huybrecht the pipe maker or the series?

Each pipe was offered without the stem and the customer then specified the stem he wanted.

I love that. :clap:

Where in the world did you snag this grand old pipe? Among other things, it would be the perfect briar for some of the burleys that ship dry and burn a little faster, most certainly the variant Tabac-Manil Semois, although it is probably fine for many genres of blends. I like a tall narrow bowl for Semois, D&R Two Timer, Big'n'Burley and other such leaf.
