Jirsa Rusticated Bulldog Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked, 9mm

Description

Founded by Oldrich Jirsa in 1994, Jirsa is not especially well known in the United States, but in Europe, the company has been a mainstay in the pipe world for decades. In fact, Oldrich himself can count himself among the few pipe makers so renowned in the European market that, like Poul Ilsted, Erik Nording, Hans “Former” Nielsen, Rainer Barbi, Les Wood, and Poul Winslow, there is a whole line of pipe tobaccos named in his honor, made by Dan Pipe. Jirsa’s designs are highly versatile, taking cues from Anglo-French, Danish, and German styles while also having an identity of their own.

This particular Jirsa, for example, is a classic bulldog, featuring the workshop’s signature rusticated finish. It’s one of their more traditional designs, though with a distinctive “country” feel, as well as an ivory-hued accent inlaid into its stem.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It is chambered to allow for the use of 9mm filters if preferred.
