The 1970s were the heyday of Danish and Danish-inspired briars. One of the things that set many of them apart was the use of shank extensions. Viking Odense Twill pipes are highlighted by the use of fluted bright metal shank caps mated with gleaming black acrylic military-look stems. The shapes are all modern versions of classic Scandinavian styles which make these Viking Odense Twill pipes masterpieces of style.
