Pipe Tristan Sandblasted Straight Dublin Handmade Briar Pipe, New [SOLD]

Description

Pipe Tristan is the name used by French artisan Tristan Lefebvre. Lefebvre is part of a new wave of up-and-coming hand made pipe carvers from the birthplace of briar, following in the footsteps of figures such as Alain Albuisson, Paul Lanier, and Pierre Morel Sr and Jr. Lefebvre credits a wide range of influences upon his pipe-making, such as modern greats from Italy and Denmark, such as Carlo Scotti’s Castello and Tom Eltang, as well as more unique sources of inspiration, such as the centuries-old hunting pipes native to Germany’s southern Bavarian region. As such, Tristan is equally at home crafting his own spin on the ’55,’ the hawbill, or the Danish Dublin as he is reviving the Ulmer Kloben – when he isn’t inventing his own shapes, that is.

In some senses, this is a very traditional Dublin, given its canted bowl and short stem. On the other hand, it’s very modern; it features a bare plateau rim, a hand-cut cumberland stem, and a stem ring made from Finnish Durat. So, it’s a mixture of worlds – and an excellent one at that. Other distinguishing features include a ring grain sandblast under a light, virgin stain, and a weight that will make the pipe an incredibly comfortable clencher.
