Dave Neeb Magnum Smooth Bent Dublin Handmade Briar Pipe, New

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.

This particular Dave Neeb is an especially stout, magnum bent Dublin, which still somehow manages to retain a certain elegance and grace. The bowl shows of plenty of beautiful flame grain, while the pipe’s tortoiseshell acrylic stem lends an air of the old-world to the overall design, recalling the amber and Bakelite mouthpieces of days gone by.
