Bjarne Viking Copenhagen Pipes

Still getting used to the shape but, so far, it has smoked well.

easy to break in and a smooth drarwn

The pipe looked great, but the bowl having an oval shape, I thought the the sides of the bowl might be a little thin. I packed it lightly and and drew on it quite gently. I've smoked a pipe for about 60 years, so I know how to burn one in. I still smoke my very first pipe. Anyway, after smoking for just few minutes, the finish on the bowl started to bubble up and blister. I massaged the bubbles back down, but the blistering continued on both sides of the bowl. I thought about returning the pipe, but I had tken an overall liking to it, so I decided to remove the gloss coating with acetone an then polished it with 0000 steel wool. This resulted in a nice natural look, which I finished off with a good finishing wax. I think that I made it a better pipe. It smokes well and has just a few, small fills in the wood.

Good looking pipe, smokes great!

This pipe smokes great and the price is good. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have smoked Bjarne pipes for some time now. But this finish and shape is by far my favorite so far!

The pipe it self looked nice. It had pitied marks on the metal ring.. They said send it back for a replacement which I did. I saw a Peterson that I liked better. It was a upgrade. Looking forward to my new Perterson. I would buy the pipe as a present
