Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation: Argang Vintage Natural (1882) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Named for Erik Stokkebye's "1882" blend, which was named in honor of the date Stokkebye tobacco business was founded, the "1882" is a voluptuous bent Brandy. Possessed of ample curvature, the bowl here stands on a rounded heel and boasts a supple, low-set waist that tapers toward a taut rim. These walls are thick and surround a capacious chamber, while their thorough rounding offers comfort in the hand and a soft look. The "1882" is designed and fashioned by Peder Jeppesen of Neerup, representing the Danish maker's signature, muscular style.

One of the most vivid finishes across Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation's lineup, the Vintage Natural features pipes dressed in a smooth texture and vibrant contrast stain that combines rich gold and auburn hues. Such a presentation exemplifies Peder Jeppesen's renowned aesthetic — the Danish carver behind Neerup pipes who also crafts a number of 4th Generation's lines — and his work often presents bold color palettes, as indicated by this piece's combination of finish, multi-hued acrylic stem, and flashy metal accent.
