PETER HEESCHEN UNSMOKED "A" GRADE BLAST COBRA W/BOXWOOD ESTATE PIPE COMPLETE

Description

Despite his strong following, many times people are surprised to hear me say Peter Heeschen is my favorite Danish carver of all time, but it's due to the fact the first high grade Danish pipe I ever bought was a Heeschen that smoked as good or better than any pipe I have ever owned! I love his shapes, finishes, engineering and overall every facet of his art and the world lost one of the truly greats when he passed in 2015. This is one of the best shapes he makes in my opinion, the Cobra! It is graded "A" and remains unsmoked coming complete with original gold logo leather glove. A fantastic shape that fits perfectly in hand or can easily be clenched, it sports a wide bowl that shows characteristics of disc and egg with two creases while one is more pronounced to the rear. The rim is crisp and scalloped leading to a healthy sized chamber affording plenty of capacity. Base is flat enough to create a rocker/setter while the shank transitions in a quarter bend to meet the original vulcanite stem with fishtail bit while the lovely piece of Turkish Boxwood creates beautiful contrast. The finish appears almost jet black but is actually a deep and dark burgundy while the blast is quite fine showing tons of tiny birdseye pockets and cross grain on the flanks. A superb pipe from the late great Peter Heeschen that awaits its first smoke and is not to be missed!
