Description
Item & Condition: This Holtorp pipe, hand made in Denmark, features a distinctive Brandy/Chimney-shaped bowl characteristic of Danish pipe-making. This pipe is in excellent condition with minimal handling marks, retaining its original stem that fits snugly and tightly into the shank. The pipe showcases beautiful grain patterns, including striking birdseye and cross grain, highlighting the quality of the briar used. With a clean rim and internals, the pipe is ready for smoking. P. Holtorp was one of the artisanal carvers associated with Pipe-Dan, a renowned Copenhagen pipe shop, during the 1960s and early 1970s. Holtorp worked alongside other notable Danish pipe makers such as Sven Knudsen, Gert Holbek, and Tom Eltang. Unlike many Danish pipe makers of his time, Holtorp's designs often featured bold lines and forms, striving for elegance rather than conforming to the "fancy freehand" style popular in Denmark. Holtorp's pipes were known for their high-quality craftsmanship and dense graining. After his time at Pipe-Dan, Holtorp continued to make pipes from his own shop, selling many through Pipe-Dan.

Accurate and Honest Description? Whatever happened to good ole USA customer service? I do my utmost to be accurate and honest with my descriptions.

At times, even I make mistakes, but they are honest mistakes and the customer is always right! I accept full refund (no partial refunds) returns with no questions asked. I would rather lose a sale than have someone dissatisfied because that is how I would like to be treated when I am buying pipes. Pipes at fair market price? 99% of my listings are auction starting at .99 so the market decides a price. Truly clean pipes ready to smoke? Many other sellers focus on the outside because it takes a lot of time to clean the inside and a shiny pipe sells! I spend hours cleaning the inside of your pipe for you with Everclear only (No bleach, Oxyclean, murphy's soap, or other harsh cleaners). I use a pipe retort, pipe cleaners and, if necessary (rarely), an ozone chamber to remove every last scent and ghost. This saves you time and money and you can confidently smoke your pipe as soon as you get it. Shipping Speed, Cost? I am proud of the fact that I can ship 95% of the time within an hour or two of you paying and ALWAYS within 24 hours!

Not reduced but absolutely FREE! Secure Packaging? Who wants to buy a pipe just to have it arrive broken or damaged? Unless you PM me with a different preference I always separate the stem from the pipe and wrap it separate. I then place it in bubble wrap with the stummel and pack it in a BOX with filler. *Pipe stand and/or other props not included.
