Description: I was very fortunate to be able to handpick several NEW Big Ben pipes from a fine collection and offer these, now harder to find pipes to you. Made by the masters at Gubbels in the Netherlands, each Big Ben is handmade from superior aged briar grown in the Mediterranean!Please see my other Big Ben offerings, as I personally chose each pipe for both briar quality and the iconic designs that have made these pipes so magnificent. As a humble restorer, Gubbels pipes are handmade with the highest quality standards and are always a pleasure to restore. This pipe is BRAND NEW and in need of its inaugural smoke. From Gubbels: “Making a pipe requires craftsmanship, a lot of fingerspitzengefühl [German expression meaning a sixth sense for tactile and/or tactical intuition] and experience in working with the indifferent and capricious material: the root of the Erica Arborea, or briar wood. This briar wood, noble and beautiful in texture, shaped by the rocky soil of the Mediterranean, adds its 50 to 80 years of growth to the value of the pipe. We are proud to tell you the whole story - from root to tobacco pipe!” This BIG BEN Bora 577 Wide Stem RHODESIAN boasts a magnificent cross grain briar with those birds eyes we love so much! Specifically selected for both this briar and the uniquely modified oval stem with a slight bend on this otherwise straight Rhodesian. This one I am still toying with keeping!! Please feel free to connect with me for questions prior to your purchase. If there are particular measurements you seek, inquiries or are just interested in the pipe or my process, please contact me. Your 100% satisfaction is more important than any sale for me. Consider following me as a seller. As a committed craftsman, I list better quality pipes regularly in both restored & new condition. As a 25 year, 100% Positive feedback eBayer, I do take great pride in careful packing and quick shipping. Returns are accepted ONLY in new & unsmoked condition. You WILL want to keep the pipes I send, as transparent photos & descriptions matter. •••I also appraise pipes, collections, estate pipes and will make honest offers to buy pipes or collections offered for sale. Just contact me for details.•••
