Now, I don’t like having to repeat myself, so I’ll say this once…David Field and I imported the Joura pipe, so everything that will appear here was hand chosen at Joura’s home in Bremen, Germany. These are the best of each grade. On top of that, we each smoked one of his pipes before engaging him as a client, and his pipes smoke great, in no small part due to the fact that he would go down to Sardinia to hand pick his blocks. He also used Corsican briar and put a symbol on each pipe to indicate the briar it was made of. Sadly, I don’t recall which symbol is which, but really, how can you possibly go wrong with either? This very typical Joura shape is in excellent condition. It’s a Grp. 6 with a wide-open draw (he’s a near genius in construction) and an ebonite stem material.
