Roger Wallenstein belongs to
the most experimental pipe
makers in the world. His
pipes with the brand Jolly
Roger are optically more like
art objects than smoking
items. Despite the
unusual shapes his pipes are
amazingly ergonomic and are
very good to hold in the hand.
A limited number of pipe bowls
Roger Wallenstein worked with
his self-developed "Driftwood"
finish, which internationally
already found considerable
attention. This method seems
to age the Briar and gives the
wooden surface a unique,
previously unknown structure.
Many of the pieces Wallenstein
provides with fancy colors that
were previously unknown in
the pipe-making. The apparent
incompatibility of fissured
surface and fresh, life-
affirming, but also sometimes
shrill colors assures the special
kick.
