Jirsa 65 Partially Rusticated Stack Dublin Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

Founded by Oldrich Jirsa in 1994, Jirsa is not especially well known in the United States, but in Europe, the company has been a mainstay in the pipe world for decades. In fact, Oldrich himself can count himself among the few pipe makers so renowned in the European market that, like Poul Ilsted, Erik Nording, Hans “Former” Nielsen, Rainer Barbi, Les Wood, and Poul Winslow, there is a whole line of pipe tobaccos named in his honor, made by Dan Pipe. Jirsa’s designs are highly versatile, taking cues from Anglo-French, Danish, and German styles while also having an identity of their own. One recurring throughline with Jirsa’s pipes is that they’re rather ergonomic in design, combining a slightly stubby length with a chamber that is nonetheless ample for a good, relaxed smoke. This partially rusticated Dublin, for example, would fit nicely in a jacket pocket when needs require, though its stacked bowl ensures that, once it is back in action, it won’t be imposing undue limits on your enjoyment. This pipe is unsmoked, with an original bowl coating.   Details: Length: 5.5″ / 139.7mm Bowl Width: 0.88 / 22.35mm Bowl Depth: 1.80″ / 45.72mm Weight: 1.5oz / 44g
