![]() ![]() The chamber has cake that needs clearing and the ‘blastified’ stummel needs a good cleaning. Looking at the Jarl Dublin now on my table, I don’t see any major issues and I’m hoping this Jarl cleans up quickly. Some Jarl pipes are marked ‘Oil Hardened’ but Steve thought that all Jarl pipes were treated in this way. Steve also mentioned that with Jarl pipes a special process was developed called ‘Oil Hardened’ that removed the sap and impurities from the briar that made the briar lighter and more resilient. The Jarl surfaces shows both characteristics – but done so well that it looks natural. ‘Blastification’ is a technique that may have been used that combined both blasting and rustification. Is the surface blasted or a result of rustification? When talking to Steve Laug of rebornpipes, Steve described how it may be both. Following are a few samples of the collection of Jarl pipes from : It is an interesting question. If indeed, Niels Mogens Jorgensen made these pipes in a smaller operation, and he no longer does, the Jarl name will only become more difficult to find as it becomes more collectable. The blending of rough/smooth briar seems to be a trademark of the Jarl motif. ![]() I enjoyed by far, a Jarl thread on by donjgiles, who had taken to collecting Jarls and had several pictures showing the collection. More than once, regret was expressed in not buying the Jarl one saw several years ago. I read through several blog threads containing anecdotal information about Jarl pipes and discovered a universal appreciation and love for this Danish line. After doing research on these Jarls, I’m wondering if I might not regret pulling the Jarl Chieftain out of the Pipe Dreamers offerings to keep for myself!! Here are the two Jarls in the Pipe Steward collection and more pictures showing the Jarl Dublin as Cyrus saw in Pipe Dreamers. We have no reason to doubt that Niels Mogens Jørgensen is the maker of these pipes.Ĭyrus, a friend who formerly was a Peace Corp worker here in Bulgaria, saw the Jarl Dublin in the For ‘Pipe Dreamers’ Only! section on ThePipeSteward website and commissioned him. In December of 2010 Ellen Jarl wrote that Jarl pipes were made by her grandfather, Niels Mogens Jørgensen in a little factory in the town of Bramdrupdam, just outside Kolding, Denmark. I will be adding nothing new to the scant information available on the internet for the Jarl name. ![]() Under each Jarl designation is the COM, Made in Denmark. The Billiard is marked ‘Jarl Chieftain’ 1511 with a ‘J’ stem mark and the Dublin is marked simply, ‘Jarl’ 1545. Both are marked on the underside of the smoothed shank portion. When I first saw them, I liked the style of the blending of the blasting or is it rustification? – and the twin smooth panels on the sides of the bowl. I acquired two Jarl of Denmark pipes in the Lot of 66 pipes I landed on the eBay auction block a couple of years ago. ![]()
