Viking Classic Smooth Rhodesian Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked [SOLD OUT]

Description

Viking was a make originally created by Bjarne Nielsen as a sub-brand of his main-line Bjarne pipes. Nielsen himself was one of the towering figures of Danish pipe-making until his passing in 2008, introducing the world to a generation of talented pipe-makers from his home country. While neither Nielsen nor Bjarne are around anymore, the Viking line continues to be produced, offering interesting designs at affordable prices.

This pipe is an interesting synthesis of traditions. It’s a pipe from a Danish legend, but it sticks close to the English-French style, with a little bit of Irish thrown in. It’s a bent Rhodesian with a nice amount of flame grain, elevated by a silver faux-spigot. There’s a lot of class in a pipe like this, especially for the price.

This one is also completely unsmoked, with a factory-original bowl coating to aid in the breaking in during its first smoke.
