Description
Dave Neeb spent the first part of his life as an attorney. Upon retiring, however, he turned his hand to an altogether different vocation: pipes. First, Neeb was a pipe seller; he then learned the art of pipe restoration; finally, under the tutelage of Lee Von Erck and Rad Davis, he took up making artisan pipes himself. This continued for many years, with Neeb’s restoration of high-grade pipes being practiced side by side with the crafting of his own – pipes that deservedly amassed a cult following. Eventually, Neeb retired from pipe restoration and sales, but his pipe-making endeavors are, to the relief of many a smoker, not over yet.
While many of Dave Neeb’s pipes are stout designs with clear American and Italian influences, this one leans far closer to the early French tradition, albeit with a slightly American touch. It is, after all, a compact, squat tomato shape, much like many of the earliest briars, but with a palm-filling breadth that makes it far more modern, and has it sit comfortably alongside the tomatoes of Jared Coles, Micah Redmond, or Pete Prevost, for example.
