I fell in love with the picture of this pipe at Pipes&Cigars. I've been smoking it a few weeks and it performs like a dream. As a matter of fact, it may the best smoking briar pipe I own. It is an IDA Group II, which are hand cut from pre-cut shapes. So you get some of the economy of machine pipes but with the uniqueness of a hand made pipe. I was considering one of Todd Johnson's designs from briarworks but one of our industry leader said he thought the Neerups were made every bit as good.

I usually capture images of pipes from the seller's website and note the details in photobucket for my records. However, P&C removed the image and details as soon as I purchased it and I had to take my own picture.
So, what would you call this? An Apple? I might call it a lumberman due to the long shaft except that is has an apple-like bowl. Lumberman's seem to be a billiard with a long briar shank.
I don't think this will be my last Neerup. I really like Jeppe Pedersen's style.

Looks great. I just got my first Neerup a little over a week ago (pic here). Wonderful smoker, might be my best smoker as well.

Peder Jeppesen's shapes can be quite whimsical, but are great smokers. Love both of mine! Very nice find, brass.

FMgee, you have have great looking pipe. As a matter of fact, I had complimented it previously. I'm out of discretionary bucks for the month - way out - but I think I'll be picking up another of Peder's designs. I like the briarwork designs as well but can't have everything I wish for.

Brass: I have been tempted to get one of the Neerup Cherrywoods from Smoking Pipes but there are too many other expenses right now. I have only smoked mine 4 or 5 times and I would happily buy many more. Great value.

A little volcano in the bloodline there -- brandappleano? Brandapplelumberano? Sometimes shapes do that.
