Sean Reum Sandblasted Danish Apple Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

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.

Montana’s Sean Reum is well regarded for his playful takes on Danish and Danish-American shapes, and for good reason. He nails the hallmark plumpness of such designs, as in the case of this slightly squat and more than slightly bulbous rendition, while adding his own spin to them, often by way of an unorthodox color palette. In the case of this one, one sees whispers of Eltang and Hedegaard in its elementary form, but something completely different thanks to its crisp, contrast sandblast and distinctive, gray matte mouthpiece.

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