Neerup Classic 2 Partially Sandblasted Brandy w/ Brass Estate Briar Pipe, Danish Estates

Peder Jeppesen is a Danish artisan who, with his son Noah, crafts P. Jeppesen and Neerup pipes. As is tradition in Denmark, Jeppesen got his start making pipes in the workshop of Karl Erik, and then in the workshop of Erik Nording, before going solo. Despite graduating from his apprenticeships amidst an incredibly competitive artisan scene, Jeppesen has since become one of the most prominent and successful pipe makers in both Denmark and the world. As for how he managed to accomplish this, it is likely that the distinctive nature of his designs—even against the broader backdrop of Scandinavian pipe making—has been a significant contributing factor. Blending the staple, organic forms common to Danish pipe making, such as apples, eggs, acorns, and strawberries, with unorthodox decorative elements, such as brighter color schemes, rings, and other adornments, has ensured that Jeppesen’s pipes are rarely mistaken for those of anyone else.

As one might expect, Peder Jeppesen’s Neerup Classic series is one devoted to classic shapes—but, more specifically, to classic Danish shapes, which Jeppesen himself has a wealth of experience with. This one takes the form of a muscular brandy, for example, dressed in a crisp, dark, ring grain sandblast, accented with brass, and fitted with a distinctive, flared acrylic mouthpiece.

The condition is great. Some very slight wear to the rim, but clearly only very lightly smoked.
