Northern Briars Freehand

Northern Briars is the brand of Ian Walker, who is one of the last pipe makers in England capable of producing pipes on a large scale.

Ian Walker was born into the pipe making family, as his grandfather and father were also pipe makers. This family path started in 1922.

Northern Briars pipes are known for traditional English shaping, but also more modern approaches. In particular, the pleasantly grippy rustication, the so-called "Rox Cut", has found friends all over the world.

Ian Walker uses only the finest ebonite and Cumberland for the mouthpieces of the pipes, which are also "hand cut". Fortunately, 9mm drillings are no problem.

Only sterling silver is used for the decoration of his pipes, which gives them an additional elegance.

If you like Norhern Briars, why not take a look at Ashton, which are also made in the UK. And don't forget the original: Dunhill Pipes.
