Soren Smooth Freehand Estate Briar Pipe, Danish Estates

Description

Søren Refbjerg Rasmussen was one of the central figures in the post-war Danish pipe-making movement. Rasmussen worked at Copenhagen’s W.O. Larsen workshop, ultimately succeeding Hans “Former” Nielsen as its foreman, and was also the founder of the Søren workshop, which produced freehand pipes during the 1970s freehand boom. After the Søren workshop was closed, Rasmussen continued to carve pipes, doing so under his middle name, Refbjerg.

Though relatively simple in design, this particular Soren is a large and impressively grained offering from Soren Rasmussen’s workshop. With a wide, deep bowl adorned by beautiful flame grain, it should be perfect for long, relaxing smokes.

The condition is great. Some minor rim darkening.
