As for the finishes themselves, Reum has gravitated towards a variety of techniques over the years, favouring certain of them at one time, and then focusing on others at the next. In the late 2010s, Reum produced many pipes with a signature sandblast/rustication hybrid he termed ‘Chipblast.’ In recent years, Reum has leaned more towards either conventional, full- or partial-sandblasting, as well as conventionally smooth pipes. At the time of writing, however, he has also been experimenting with what else can be achieved through differing levels of depth and intensity in sandblasting, leading to a novel, softly-blasted finish Reum has called ‘Eggshell.’ | As for the finishes themselves, Reum has gravitated towards a variety of techniques over the years, favouring certain of them at one time, and then focusing on others at the next.

The majority of Reum’s pipes are made from briar and ebonite and similar resins, which are his preferred materials. He will occasionally work with olivewood and bog oak (morta), but only makes pipes with acrylic or lucite stems upon request. | The majority of Reum’s pipes are made from briar and ebonite and similar resins, which are his preferred materials.
