Sean Reum Sandblasted Apple w/ Cumberland Handmade Briar Pipe, New

Description

Over the last decade, Sean Reum has emerged as one of North America’s most admired and in-demand pipe-makers, with his fans including, among many others, the one and only G.L. Pease. Having followed Reum’s career for many years, including catching a few glimpses of the artisan in his Montana workshop, I’m happy to say that his status in the pipe world is well-earned. A master carver of hand made pipes in the Scandinavian tradition, Reum has managed to secure a niche in the highly competitive artisan market through a combination of innovative designs and production techniques, a consistent, high quality output, and an almost unparalleled work ethic.

This week we’ve got two fittingly “spooky” Reum pipes in just in time for the Halloween season. This is the second, a distinctive re-envisioning of the Danish apple shape, as popularized by figures such as Erik Nording, Hans Former Nielsen, and Jens Tao Nielsen. Managing to be both slight and slender and perfectly plump, Reum’s rendition wears a rather gothic black sandblast which, alongside the pipe’s flared black ebonite stem, is offset by a ferrule cut from orange cumberland.
