Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation: Argang Burnt Sienna (1931) Tobacco Pipe

The "1931" design from 4th Generation is a subtly bent and forward-inclined bent Apple that corresponds to Erik Stokkebye's 1931 blend, a Virginia and Burley flake. The pipe tobacco honors the birthdate of Erik's father, Erik Peter, the third generation of the Stokkebye family's long standing tobacco tradition, and as a pipe shape, it's a dynamic rendition designed by Peder Jeppesen of Neerup pipes. As such, it beautifully reflects Peder's signature interpretation of classic Danish pipe design, the lines of this piece soft and supple as the transition gently eases into the bowl's curvature. In line with Neerup's typical aesthetic, the bowl is more muscular compared to the slender shank and stem, and it's founded on a firm heel, making for a hearty, natural presence in hand while the profile prioritizes elegant fluidity and poise.

A smooth finish and rich contrast stain define pipes in the Burnt Sienna series from Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation, the dark, earthy tone and contrasting, light-ochre sections befitting the line's moniker and highlighting the briar's natural grain patterns. It's a finish indicative of Peder Jeppesen's skill and signature style, accented handsomely by a bronze-hued accent separating the stummel from an acrylic stem.
