Neerup Classic 2 Smooth Apple w/ Acrylic & Brass Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Description

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/i>, which Jeppesen himself has a wealth of experience with. This one is a short, plump Danish apple rendition, with a broad bowl decked out in contrast-lit flame grain a shank end accented by twin accents of amber-like acrylic and brass.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating.
