4th Generation Klassisk 401 Smooth Bent Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Description

4th Generation—or, rather, Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation, to use its full name—is a brand of pipes first conceived by Denmark’s Erik Stokkebye (as one would expect), who holds the accomplishment of representing four generations of the Stokkebye family’s involvement in pipes and tobaccos (as one would also expect). Erik Stokkebye himself does not make pipes; rather, he contracts this task to some of the world’s great pipe makers, most of which are also Danish, to create them. Those familiar with the history of Danish pipes may already be familiar with the pipes made by Jorgen Larsen for Peter Stokkebye (Erik’s father) around the 1970s. Several decades later, Erik would become the second generation in the Stokkebye family to o the same.

Taking its name from the Danish word for “classic,” the Klassisk line marks a slight departure from the norm when it comes to Stokkebye pipes. Instead of the more modernist designs associated with Stokkebye lines, the Klassisk looks toward the pipes that inspired post-war Danish pipe making in the first place, those being the traditional staples of England and France. This one is a reserved, and indeed classic, bent billiard, dressed in a rich contrast stain and accented with a sleek copper army mount.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It comes with its original box and sleeve.
