Dave Neeb Smooth Dublin Handmade Briar Pipe, New

Dave Neeb spent the first part of his life as an attorney. Upon retiring, however, he turned his hand to an altogether different vocation: pipes. First, Neeb was a pipe seller; he then learned the art of pipe restoration; finally, under the tutelage of Lee Von Erck and Rad Davis, he took up making artisan pipes himself. This continued for many years, with Neeb’s restoration of high-grade pipes being practiced side by side with the crafting of his own – pipes that deservedly amassed a cult following. Eventually, Neeb retired from pipe restoration and sales, but his pipe-making endeavors are, to the relief of many a smoker, not over yet. This particular Neeb is an interesting cross between a Dublin and a Liverpool. A Dubliner Liverpool? A Liverpudlian Dublin? I suppose it doesn’t matter what you call it when it looks as nice as this one does. What’s more, it’s just about as light as a feather, making it an ideal clencher.   Details: Length: 6″ / 152.4mm Bowl Width: 0.83 / 21.08mm Bowl Depth: 1.43″ / 36.32mm Weight: 1.1oz / 32g
