Big Ben Shepherd 472 Horn Stem

The Big Ben Shepherd 472 Horn Stem Pipe is a beautifully proportioned compact briar pipe, combining traditional Dutch pipe-making craftsmanship with natural materials and an elegant, understated appearance.

Part of Big Ben's Shepherd collection, the 472 features a gently curved design that offers comfortable handling despite its relatively small dimensions. Its compact construction makes it an appealing choice for pipe enthusiasts who appreciate smaller, lightweight pipes without sacrificing bowl capacity.

The pipe is crafted from carefully selected briar, chosen for its quality and attractive natural grain. Rather than applying a coloured stain or elaborate surface treatment, the wood is left in its natural state and finished exclusively with a protective layer of wax. This approach allows the individual character and warm colouring of the briar to remain clearly visible.

One of the Shepherd 472's most distinctive features is its horn mouthpiece, providing an attractive contrast to the natural briar and reinforcing the pipe's traditional appearance.

Although modest in overall size, the pipe features a generously proportioned tobacco chamber, offering a practical balance between compact dimensions and smoking capacity. Its lightweight construction and curved profile further contribute to comfortable handling.

Fitted with a 6mm filter, the Big Ben Shepherd 472 combines classic styling, carefully selected materials and practical everyday functionality in a refined, compact design.
