Brown sandblasted Mummert Calabash Reverse pipe, original straight poker model with black ebonite mouthpiece. Unique rating. The pipe has an original and essential line that makes it very elegant, with unique briar woodwork that gives it a superior class. An original model invented by Werner that has now become his hallmark and is always current and pleasant to smoke. The briar wood craftsmanship deserves a separate mention. Rupert Wagner, a renowned German pipe maker known as Roger Wallenstein, invented a briar wood craftsmanship technique in 2008 that he calls Driftwood. This technique consists of making the finish similar to wood that has been exposed to the waves of the sea for a long time. Only three craftsmen know this process, and the secret is jealously guarded. The process is long and difficult to perform, but the end result is striking, extraordinary and wonderful, original and unique, giving the pipe a superior class. The pipe is a Calabash Reverse, which are pipes with a generously sized stem as they have a very large expansion chamber. This creates a vortex that allows the smoke to expand and cool, giving unusually cool puffs. The difference compared to 'traditional' pipes is remarkable and very pleasant. Even the tobacco yields more as it remains dry until the end of the smoke. The shapes are squat due to construction requirements, but the pipes are practical and cheerful, especially in this model, which has a tempered glass stem so you can see the smoke passing through it. Werner's imagination overturns traditional construction standards, taking his pipes to a higher level. The pipe has sharp edges that enhance the perfection of Werner's workmanship. The flaming is not visible due to the way it is done, but it gives a unique sensation to the touch. Finally, the mouthpiece, made with meticulous precision, has a thin, perfect tooth for absolute comfort between the teeth. The pipe is medium in size and stands out for its more than discreet bowl, which provides excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness is not record-breaking, but it is still ideal for smoking while walking or sitting comfortably in an armchair. The quality is the same as all other Mummert pipes. This pipe is ideal for the warmer months as it heats up the hand less. It is excellent for walking as it is less prone to scratches and marks. Werner Mummert is considered a master for his impeccable technique in creating his 'jewels'.
Werner Mummert is one of Germany's leading pipe makers. He has been producing pipes for over 40 years and his creations are considered technically perfect. He uses precision tools to make them and each pipe is a unique, handmade piece. His shapes are often whimsical and original and are recognisable for their harmonious and never banal lines. Mummert is an affable person and is used to thinking outside the box. When you see one of his pipes, you often wonder why no one else has had this idea before. Just think of his apple pipes with their large, sinuous stems and short, almost vertical mouthpieces, or his reverse calabash barrel pipes, which immediately bring a smile to your face. His technical skills have taken the sandblasting of his pipes to a higher level. Rather than designing the briar, he sculpts it, and this is his most appreciated finishing touch. His annual production is very limited, and we are proud to be able to offer his fantastic creations.
