Jeppesen - GR2 The GR2 pipe series originated in the workshop of Danish pipe maker Peder Jeppesen, known for the Jeppesen and Neerup Pipes brands. The abbreviation ‘GR2’ stands for Grading 2, which at Jeppesen refers to the mid-range segment in terms of wood quality and finish. The GR2 series combines traditional Danish freehand pipe-making craftsmanship with excellent smoking characteristics.

The Jeppesen GR2 is particularly popular among pipe smokers looking for genuine Danish craftsmanship and extravagant Shaper designs, without having to stretch their budget for a flawless, high-grade one-off piece.

The Ser Jacopo Picta Magritte series is one of the most extraordinary collections produced by the Italian pipe maker Ser Jacopo. It combines the craftsmanship of pipe-making from Pesaro with the surrealist imagery of the Belgian painter René Magritte. The result is a collection of pipes that are far more than mere smoking instruments—they are three-dimensional interpretations of iconic works of art.

The Picta series ("Picta" meaning "painted") was inspired by the idea of recreating distinctive pipe shapes from the history of art in briar wood. Following series dedicated to Vincent van Gogh, Joan Miró, and Pablo Picasso, Ser Jacopo created a collection inspired by Magritte's works. A particularly important source of inspiration was his famous painting „La Trahison des Images“ (The Treachery of Images), featuring the legendary inscription „Ceci n'est pas une pipe“ (This is not a pipe.). Ironically, Ser Jacopo transforms this philosophical paradox into a real, fully functional pipe.

The Dunhill Shell Briar is an absolute icon in the world of tobacco pipes.

Legend has it that Alfred Dunhill accidentally left some pipe bowls made from Algerian briar near a boiler. The heat caused the softer wood to shrink between the harder grain lines.

To reproduce this effect more precisely and efficiently, he eventually turned to sandblasting: the softer wood is blasted away, while the harder grain remains. This not only created the distinctive, rugged appearance but also increased the surface area, resulting in better heat dissipation while smoking.

The name "Shell" is said to have originated from the fact that the relief of the sandblasted pipes reminded him of the ridged surface of seashells.

Crown – Viking

Crown pipes (often referred to as the "Crown of Denmark“) originate from the workshop of the legendary Danish pipe maker Poul Winslow.

Winslow, who began his career as an apprentice to the Danish pipe-making icon Preben Holm, is regarded worldwide as one of the most creative and technically accomplished masters of his craft. While his high-end models ("Freehands") often cost several hundred euros, the Crown range offers Danish design and outstanding craftsmanship at an affordable price.

The surface finish is a defining feature of the Viking range. These pipes are often partially rusticated or "combed." This means that part of the bowl is left smoothly polished to showcase the natural grain of the wood, while the remaining area is rusticated or sandblasted. The result is a robust, distinctly Nordic look that gives the Viking range its name.

Although these are factory-produced pipes, every Crown Viking is unique, as the proportion of smooth and textured surfaces depends on the individual characteristics of the wood block used.

On a Cross Grain pipe, the fascinating bird's-eye grain takes centre stage. The mouthpiece is handcrafted and perfectly balanced.

Ser Jacopo

The Italian pipe manufacturer Ser Jacopo (full name: Ser Jacopo dalla Gemma) is one of the most renowned and creative names in the world of high-end pipe making. It epitomises the famous Pesaro School like almost no other brand.

The workshop was founded in 1982 by Giancarlo Guidi in Pesaro, on Italy's Adriatic coast. Guidi was no stranger to the trade: he had already co-founded the equally legendary Mastro de Paja brand in 1971. After more than a decade, however, he sought even greater artistic freedom and founded Ser Jacopo.

For collectors and connoisseurs alike, a Ser Jacopo pipe is still regarded as a true character piece: impeccably crafted, exceptionally well balanced, offering outstanding smoking qualities, and always displaying a touch of Italian elegance.

Dunhill Cumberland

The Dunhill Cumberland range is one of the absolute icons and most elegant classics in the world of pipe smoking.

It is a perfect example of how British tradition meets subtle, functional design.

The series is named after the famous Cumberland sauce – a classic English sauce from haute cuisine. Just like the sauce, the wood features a deep, warm reddish-brown hue.

The absolute highlight is the striped ebonite mouthpiece. This red-brown marbled appearance is so distinctive that the term “Cumberland mouthpiece” has become the standard name throughout the pipe-smoking world for this type of mouthpiece material, regardless of the manufacturer.

Peter Hedegaard – OP3

Peter Hedegaard began his career in the 1970s. He learnt the craft in the workshop of W.Ø. Larsen in Copenhagen, among other places – the legendary breeding ground for Danish "Freehand" design.

The OP stands for "Own Shape". In contrast to his classic models (such as traditional Billiards or Princes), Hedegaard used the OP stamp for his free-form pipes (Freehands). These are pipes in which he was guided primarily by the natural grain of the wood. Every OP pipe is a completely unique piece.

Hedegaard’s grading scale generally ranged from 1 to 4 (with 4 being the highest grade, awarded to pipes displaying a perfect, flawless straight grain or birdseye pattern).

A grade of 3 therefore indicates a pipe of exceptionally high calibre. The wood displays an excellent, dense grain, often featuring a very clean flame grain or fine straight grain.

As Peter Hedegaard passed away far too early in 2008, the supply of his pipes is finite. Depending on the exact characteristics of the grain and shape, a Hedegaard OP3 can fetch four-figure sums in euros on the international collectors’ market.
