Handmade Briar Cavalier Pipe

Diese Briar Cavalier pipe is crafted from high-quality Italian briar, with beautiful birdseye grain highlighted on the left side. The sharply bent saddle stem on the shank has an ideal curvature for clenching between the teeth. This unique Cavalier shape originated in the Tyrol region of southern Germany, now part of Austria and Italy. This style is seldom seen in modern pipe-making, with its unique combination of features setting it apart.

Our pipe master Richard did a great job carving this cavalier pipe shape here, with a tight construction perfect for clenching, and the deep bend of the saddle stem extending from the shank. Said shank is long and positioned nearly vertically, contributing to the cohesion.

The deep bend of the saddle stem contrasts artfully with the straight shank, not only increasing aesthetic appeal but also enhancing the smoking experience.

In making this cavalier tobacco pipe, Richard used the finest briar wood and carved it by hand. The whole process is complicated and delicate, requiring hundreds of steps. It took Richard a week to finally finish. This can be said to be one of his most proud works!

There are only a limited number of handmade pipes like this available. If you want to own such art treasures, welcome to collect them and place an order. I would be happy to discuss the possibility of customizing your pipe with you to create a pipe-smoking experience that is unique to you.

That pipe is very pleasant to smoke thanks to its length.

The chamber is far from the face, so the smoke is not annoying for the smoker.

Briar pipe smoking history. Before 1917, pipes with sandblasted finishes had never been made, and Alfred Dunhill’s innovative mind created arguably the most popular finish for pipes today when he unveiled the Shell Briar. With its dark, reserved colour palette and delightful texture, it is no surprise that it is still available over a century later.
