Guess The Pipe Maker....(November 2019)

[tobefrank]

It’s not a Savinelli and not a GBD.

 

[shanez]

Butz Choquin?

 

[tobefrank]

Butz Choquin?

You got it! It’s a Butz Choquin 1027 Supermate virgin briar.

 

[shanez]

It's a nice looking pipe. I really like the color.

Here's my entry:

Savinelli Autograph?

 

[shanez]

Nope. It's not Italian.

 

[pitchfork]

Tim West?

 

[shanez]

Nope. It's not American.

 

[alaskanpiper]

Upshall?

 

[shanez]

Nope. It's not English.

 

[shanez]

Hint: It's Danish.

 

[alaskanpiper]

Oh. For some reason I thought Danish had been ruled out. Musta been the last pipe.

Great grain.

Larsen?

 

[shanez]

Not Larsen but he was contracted by Larsen at one time.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Is it Celius? If so, that is a remarkable outlier in his designs.

Bingo!

I was thinking I might have to give a chess hint.

You're right. It's a bit outside most of his stuff.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I only got it from the hint. I imagine the more craggy use of plateau and the freehand style when I think of Celius, but that is a beautiful play on the grain. I would definitely treasure that one.

 

[alaskanpiper]

Got a pipe for us @cosmicfolklore ???
