Guess The Pipe Maker (December 2019)...

[tobefrank]

Getting warmer, but it is not Vauen.

Not sure if this will confuse things, but there is a link between the make of this pipe and Al Pascia, who has a fair few of this make’s pipes on their website. The maker of this pipe also makes pipes for Al Pascia as part of a collaboration.

Penkov?

Penkov?

I had to look up Penkov, beautiful pipes. The pipe I posted is a factory pipe from a country further west in Northern Europe.

Gubbells. I think that’s how it’s spelled.

 

[tobefrank]

Gubbels is the pipe maker, but not the make of the pipe. Your are extremely close though.

Curvy. Or what is Curvy, Alex.

Just in from work and too tired to think, research or guess but wanted to add that it is an attractive pipe, to me!

Big Ben

Bingo!

And here I thought I had no good mystery pipes left in my collection.

You are up Alaska.

It’s a Big Ben Barbados Tan 647. I believe these pipes were the inspiration for the Al Pascia Curvy reverse calabash pipes, also produced by Gubbels.

It’s a nice little nose warmer. Al Pascia still has a number of them on their website if you are interested.

Someone else can go, a little tied up with holiday shit. It all takes twice as long with an 8 month old in the house. Imagine that.

 

[tobefrank]

No worries. I know how it is. My kids are a bit older now, which is heaps easier so hang in there.

Here is another one of mine. I hope it is not too easy.

Rad Davis, because of the mastery of the form and blast.

Briarworks?

 

[tobefrank]

Briarworks?

You got it. It’s a BriarWorks handmade, which was a special line a few years ago with only once-off pipes.

Your turn to post a mystery pipe.

Welcome back, @saltedplug !

 

[saltedplug]

thank you!

Ok, here's a pipe. Not in my collection, but I did a Google image search of a particular brand. Any guesses?
