Bennie Joe Smooth Rhodesian Handmade Briar Pipe, New

Description

Bennie Joe Pipes are made by Bennie Joe, an Indonesian artisan based in Jakarta. A trained architect and part-time pipe-maker for much of his life, he took on the latter full-time after a downturn in the property market during the dark days of 2020 and after. An interesting aspect of Bennie Joe pipes is that they are made primarily with hand tools, rather than many of the woodworking machines pipe-makers employ. While the chambers and draft holes are drilled, the body of the pipe is formed using hand tools, creating genuinely freehand shapes reminiscent of those made in mid-century Denmark. It should come as no surprise that one of Bennie Joe’s heroes is the late, great, Bo Nordh.

This Bennie Joe is a particularly portable, pocket friendly Rhodesian, one well suited for clenching or for smoking on-the-go. Being a short Rhodesian reminiscent of early French briars, and with a nice assortment of straight grain and flame grain patterns, it is sure to be an easy smoker while also being pretty easy on the eye, too.
