Blakemar Briars Litchbruyere serie

[PaulTheScandinavian]

Just as quick notice,some day ago got me a brand new Blakemar Medium Pot pipe from their Litchbruyere collection

and boy how stratling good were the craftmanship and quality of these pipes,decidedly this purchase was well worth the money ($105 incl.shipping)spent.

Paul, I have four Blakemar pipes, all from the 'Aristocrat' range and they're great smokers. They are actually made in Spain but Mike finishes them off here in England hence the 'Made In England' stamping.
I believe only his 'handmade' series are wholly English.
How about a picture of your pot?
Regards,
Jay.

Jay: Think not bad at all £ 84 though not cheap but has way better flawless finish than peterson (pinkey blinders inspector model)

they call this a medium (but I'd say it has smaller size chamber )

Paul, from what I have experienced of Peterson and Blakemar pipes I would say Blakemar make a far better pipe for less money. Of course buying a Peterson pipe you are paying for the name also!
Regards,
Jay.

[Jay: Sure,and just forgot to mention, somewhat I'm lately coming to conlusion the vulcanite stem material used by Blakemar is perhaps a hair softer /inferior in quality to ones used in Peterson pipes-so to say perhaps Stems on Blakemars are more prone to bite marks yet mouthpiece surface luxtry finish may get duller/over time more quickly versus Petersons. This is my personal observation and not 100% proofed,

Had you experieced any of this?

Ciao, P

I also think that the Blakemar pipes are great values. I've been enjoying my 2 Litchbruyeres and intend to get several more.

Papipe: Mine have that antique finish on them but perhaps this your natural ome has even better looks in realty

I d like to buy some more, but as you'd guess due to my repeated pipe acquisitions during the past year right now I feel some sortage in my spending money,so I got to adjourn my next pipe buying-round,yet in addition theres that my gas guzzeler old Detroit buld car,in some sense its like greedy childred'give me more $
