LINDNER PIPES
Michael Lindner creates around 100 beautiful pipes per year, running the gamut from perfectly-executed billiards to artistic, flowing Blowfish. Starting with briar from the same source that Teddy Knudsen utilizes, Michael air-cures his wood a minimum of three years before working it. This ensures an effortless break-in, and in our personal experience Lindner Pipes tend to be very forgiving in their smoking characteristics. German ebonite and brindle rod stock is used to create the handcut stems, and all the pipes are completely handmade. The engineering is spot-on, and Michael says he will not make a pipe that won’t pass a pipecleaner easily. The bowl coatings are completely neutral in flavour and still allow the wood to absorb the moisture of the smoke. Whether you collect the classics, or you prefer the avant-garde, every Lindner will smoke effortlessly, day in, day out.
