Have you smoked a Vollmer & Nilsson? Then you have not lived. Okay, that's a bit of hyperbole but in all candor, Vollmer & Nilsson pipes are setting a new standard. And their star is rising fast. This Swedish brother duo has created a lovely Lovat shape pipe for our 2010 POY. It all got started by Rick Willoughby and his little Vollmer & Nilsson pipe (as seen above). Rick writes:
The 2010 SPC club pipe. Praised by the likes of Mike Gluckler ("All I
do know is that I do not want this pipe to stop smoking!!!"), Greg
Pease ("Two brothers in Sweden making truly exceptional pipes") and
Marty Pulvers ("The pipes of Vollmer & Nilsson
just do not fail to put a smile on my face."), the team of Vollmer and
Nilsson make classically styled pipes that smoke as nice as they look.
Our 2010 club pipe will be a lovat with a twist. The basic pipe will be
sandblasted in your choice of tan, dark brown or black. You'll also
have a choice of bit color. Black or cumberland ebonite or even an
acrylic amber. Now the premium options! Get a smooth finish for an
extra $80 or a plain silver band for just an additional $30. Or get
both! (I will.)
Thanks to Anders and Martin and brother Rick Willoughby for making this wonderful pipe a reality. This is a $400 to $600 value IF you could get one anywhere else...but you can't! Is this the best SPC club pipe in our HISTORY? Just possibly. Members only. Not a member yet? Here's your excuse to join your brethren in the Great Seattle Pipe Club!
