W.O. Larsen ¼ Bent Dublin/ Ring & Flame Grain/ Handmade Denmark/ MINTThe W.O. Larsen workshop produces some elegant Danish classics, and this bent Dublin fits right in. Sleek of profile, with a crisp line around its rim, and a whole lot of both ring & flame grain and the wide rim awash in bulbous birds-eye end grain. It's a piece that's hard to put down once it's in hand, with a comfortable feel and gentle profile. Pipe has a beautiful wide-open draw and the draft hole is dead... center about flush with the bottom of the chamber. Pipe has no issues at all and appears barely smoked. Pipe does not accept a filter. Weight of pipe is about 1 – 1/2 ounces. Pipe is an easy, all day clencher.Regarding graining, the well-respected authority on the subject, Carl Ehwa, in his landmark book, Pipes & Tobaccos, writes:
“When selecting briar pipes, quality of wood and workmanship and the type of graining are the prime considerations. Pipes made of dense, straight grain wood are by far the most expensive. They are beautiful, and generally they are lighter in weight. They have a tendency to absorb moisture much more slowly, which means they will smoke more sweetly and need to be rested less often. The bird's–eye, or end grain at the bottom of the bowl of a straight grain pipe absorbs moisture more quickly than other grains. Yet, because of its position, it allows the moisture to drain away from the tobacco and the channel, thus keeping the smoke dry.” ~ Pg 128Length 5 – 1/2 inches
