Fritz Weller: Difference between revisions

No doubt, Weller's experience won in decades of pipe trading and repairing is an invaluable behoof for his pipe making. Weller pipes bribe by clear shapes and outermost exact manufacturing. Regarding his pipe making rather as a labour of love than a source to increase his old-age pension, a maximum of appr. 15 pipes leaves his workshop per year. Weller spends endless hours on detail work handcrafting his pipes in the true sense of the word.

He uses briar from Tuscany striving to work out the beauty of the wood's graining. This gets underlined by light, almost natural colored stainings. The finish is executed with a thin cover of shellac and followed by polishing with best wax. Decorating elements like massive gold or silver rings are extremely rarely used. Sometimes he attaches applications made of Cumberland, rose wood or a nickel fitting. 90% of all Weller pipes feature a chamber for 9mm filters. He doesn't use any grading and stamps his pipes with a simple "W". Prices range from (appr.) Euro 250 to 450.
