    Description

    Preben Holm is legendary in the pipe world and was instrumental in the huge success of Danish pipes starting in the 1960's after a long reign by England. When thinking of Danish freehands, it is difficult not to picture a Holm. It's rare to find one unsmoked as they were almost always well enjoyed yet here is a Fancy that was made not long before his untimely passing in 1989. In 1985 he started stamping his pipes "C5" denoting the CAO era. It's classic Preben, a Tulip like shape that is also a sitter. It features a tall bowl that flares out a touch at the craggy plateau rim with a deep and generous chamber yet not overly large. The pipe has excellent hand feel with a small fluted section near the bottom of the front of the bowl. Base is flat of course while the sturdy half bent shank transitions showing more plateau at the wide face. Stem is original faux amber fancy lucite with fishtail bit and crisp "PH" logo. The finish is gorgeous, a rich and warm golden contrast while the briar displays dazzling straight and flame grain with tons of depth. Awaiting its first light after about 35 years, this Preben comes complete with box and sock. A rarity indeed!
