Neerup Question

[Pierre1965]

If any of you have a Neerup bent pot or bent apple would you mind posting a picture of it in your hand? I really like them and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get one; just trying to get perspective on the size. Any thoughts you might have on either or both would be appreciated. Thanks.

I used to have both actually. Fairly small little guys.

Forums members have expressed enthusiasm for Neerup. They're attractive pipes. Visually, I find them a little too front-loaded, but I've never heard any complaints from owners. They seem to be well-crafted and often have some handsome metalwork and/or bands.

Perfect! Thank you.

I'd get the one with the trout, but @ 50mm deep, the bowls are cavernous.

The only thing that kept me from buying one was that the chambers are tiny.

I have one. Love it. However, I bought one for a friend and returned it because it would not pass a cleaner without a funky twist. Just check. They can’t all be that way.

Huh? Real pipes start at size group 5.

I don't think this is helping me. I may have to buy both now! These definitely seem to be "settle into a comfy chair by the fire for a couple hours" pipes. Thanks everyone.

Don't get me wrong, they are great smokers, but like I said, too small for my liking. Enjoy!

I think the black one could swallow that entire tin of Balkan Blue in one gulp!

2 1/2 fills will kill a 50g tin in that monster.

I really like some of the Neerups and had similar questions regarding size.

I love the look, and ordered two...but neither wold pass a pipe cleaner with ease..one not at all. And that included some Falcon thin cleaners.
I tried every suggested trick and could get it maybe one out of 10 pipe cleaners...I went through a lot of pipe cleaners.
I didn't feel accomplished enough to perform any "surgery" and sent them back.
I still love the look and the feel, and perhaps it wouldn't have been an issue, but I am just too green to feel comfortable with it.
I think if I would have purchased one that are truly handmade of the higher end ones it may have been a different story....
I may revisit one in the future, to my eye that are as appealing as my fave the 320.
