Vollmer & Nilsson
Bent Brandy
About the maker:
Martin Vollmer and Anders
Nilsson are two brothers (Actually half-brothers, which explains the different
family names) living in Malmö, Sweden. Malmö is the third largest city of
Sweden and is located in the province of Scania in the very southernmost part of
the country. Up until 1658, Scania was part of Denmark, and Martin and Anders
still feel a close bond to their Danish neighbours.
While pursuing different careers, Martin & Anders have spent a great deal
of their leisure time in the last couple of decades smoking, collecting, and
making pipes. For some time they have been supplying pipes to friends and
relations, and their level of craftsmanship and design has led them become
full-time professional pipe makers.
All Vollmer & Nilsson pipes are made to provide the best possible smoking
experience. The smoke channel is 4 mm in diameter. The mortise and tenon are cut
with precision to create an extremely smooth fitting. The mouthpieces are made
from high quality German ebonite rod. They are drilled with specially ground
drills, to taper from 4 mm to 2,5 mm at the mouthpiece slit. The slit itself is
1,8 mm high. Only the finest Briar from various sources are used for each
Vollmer & Nillson pipe. Martin & Anders will use other materials to
decorate the stems or briar and they include: a reconstituted gemstone that is
made from ground stone and acrylic, Exotic Woods, Silver, and others.
