Preview: New Barling Pipes without Filter

[Chris from Cigarworld]

Hello again from Germany,
as many of you know, the german pipe- distributor Kopp Pipes reintroduced the old brand Barling again.
I know that Barling has a very special relation to the american market, and i was surprised to see that all of their re- introduced series where with mouthpieces for 9mm filters.
But Oliver Kopp gave me an interesting preview of the upcoming new series. All without filter, and all with nice and slim shanks. Will be available at all Barling retailers worldwide. Please don't recognize my posting as advertisement for our shop.
I just want to share this Information because i really think the pipes are very beautyful and well made.

Thank you for your heads up of the new filterless line
Nice looking range

 

[gervais]

Beautiful pipes!

 

[ThermionicScott]

Those are really elegant. Since I don't use filters, I've come to really prefer slender stems that show off that there isn't room for one.

 

[Jbyrd]

I was thinking of buying a barling but now I will be waiting for these to come out.

It's good to see them again without filters.

Would be cool if they ditched the diamond and brought back the crossed logo on the stem.

I thought it was a lion?

Very elegant.

They look really nice, I just don’t like the raised stem logo.

You're right. Smoking Pipes doesn't show a top down photo and from the profile it looked like a big fake diamond. Looked at some on eBay that show top down perspective and yeah, it's a lion. Slightly less terrible than a fake diamond LOL

Elegant. They will sell out quickly. Thx for the posting

 

[Zamora]

Never heard of them but they have a pretty unique aesthetic

Non filtered? Now, you have my attention with this brand.

These are some sleek looking shapes and I quite like the pencil shanks. Also, a very smart move to release a line without the filters if you're looking to make headway in the US market.

Personally, I like the lion head on the top of the stem. It's a nice little bit of bling.

I picked up one of the 9mm bent billiards last year and have smoked the heck out of it. Really into these shapes with no filter, cant wait to pick a few up.

Any word on a release date?

Thanks for the info, I have two Barlings which I keep with my Dunhills, Ashtons, Stanwells, Nordings, Wileys, and Petersons. They are fine pipes, beautiful, and they smoke well. I Do prefer the non-filltre option, and will definitely be purchasing some of these. I hope they have stems with a decent length, I prefer at least a six-inch total in a pipe's length, or something close. The older style pipes with the longer stems are hard to find, most modern ones are far too short for my likes. Do you know when these will be available, and will be on the market on a widespread level?

My understanding is that the Barling brand originated not as a pipe, but as a silversmith adding silver to existing pipes. They eventually began producing their own pipes, in London, England. I can't guarantee that's precisely right, just what I seem to recall reading somewhere along the line.

The lion heads seem to appear on all the newer pipes. Do you know how long ago it was when they started doing this?

As far as I know, the sterling lion's heads have been around since K&K launched the line.
