Michal Novak Smooth Spiral Carved Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Description

We don’t get many Michal Novák pipes come through here at MBSD, but that didn’t stop me from instantly recognizing this one when it landed on desk. Novak is one of those select few artisans whose work is unmistakably theirs, with his signature style blending, on the one hand, the unfurling, spiral carvings familiar to Danish freehand pipes with more traditional Anglo-French forms. They are like playfully warped renditions of something you might find out of Dunhill or GBD—in fact, his closest counterpart might well be Horry Jamieson, carver of the acclaimed GBD Unique series.

This pipe is completely unsmoked.
