Neerup.

[BlueMaxx]

Ah, they are beauties!

I could get a cleaner through the one bent pot, but I had to hold my tongue just right and say a rosary before I tried.

Actually I just had to give the cleaner an ever so slight bend on the end and averaged about one out of ten tries with success and about a whole pack of pipe cleaners.

The other bend just plain would in no way go, and you could see the indent from the cleaner point just below the draw hole if you looked down into the stummel.

SP was great though and gladly received them back with no questions asked.

Something about a Neerup....everyones different..

I am an old VW Bug driver, and these little guys seem to strike that chord within me...

Slightly eccentric, somewhat oddly shaped yet undeniably reliable and simple....

Yeah I would not describe myself as a fan of Danish artisan shaping in general but Neerup is an exception. For whatever reason they just click with me. Seems just about every pipe I've bought gurgles a bit at first, so taking a cleaner would be important

Here's my Peder Jeppesen IDA tomato, high quality pipe for a very reasonable price. Some corners have been cut of course but where it matters it's certainly top notch. From Al Pascia, quick delivery and the giftwrapping made me happier than a grown man should care to admit, quite a contrast to how most deal with shipping.

Excellent!

I love my Neerups, and have been smoking them more lately. Mine range from .8” wide chambers to almost an inch. Love the huge chambers.

Only just realised there was a thread for these so taking the opportunity to post photos of my (fairly recently) acquired Jeppeson ?

Most of these pipes have too thin a wall for me but the last couple were just my type of bowl.

 

[Tommy Boy]

I don't think neerups and jeppeson pipes have ever been accused of having to thin of walls. I prefer thick walls with a good size diameter. I have large hands and they feel comfortable to me. I don't usually clench so its no big deal on that front.

 

[fightnhampster]

I have one and love the look and the bowl size.

The killer though is that I can't get it to smoke well, even after almost 30 bowls. Every blend in it tastes very off from how they normally taste.

It has fallen to the back of my collection for now. I'm sure I will revisit it at some point.

That's a bonnie pipe! Shame it's not smoking how you'd like. I haven't found that with mine. Do you have others with a similar bowl profile? Wonder if it could have something to do with that?

Good question. My other two best smokers are big like this one. It's my preferred size.

Wide and deep, just how I like 'em

Strange that, I've read that some have had issues with taste from the bowl coating, 30 smokes should be plenty to get rid of that though. Maybe a careful clean of the mortise with high-proof alcohol if that has not been attempted? First time cleaning mine I got something resembling the finish of the pipe (slightly unnatural color) out of the mortise and I could imagine that imparting an off-taste.

Definitely worth a shot. Thanks for the advice!

Some of the smallest chambered pipes I've ever owned.

so pretty big then.

Only have one but love it
