A Pristine, New-Old-Stock Dutch Tobacconist Classic with an Elegant Emerald Green Accent Ring & Original Leather Pouch
For collectors of historic European house-pipe collaborations, this Compaenen 403S is a rare and striking find. Commissioned by the famous Dutch tobacconist chain Compaenen and meticulously manufactured by the legendary Elbert Gubbels & Zonen factory (makers of Big Ben) in Roermond, this New Old Stock (NOS) piece remains entirely unsmoked, unlit, and pristine—complete with its original factory leather storage pouch.
The Architecture & Emerald Contrast
Cut to a flawless, crisp Straight Billiard profile (Shape 403S), this pipe features a commanding, vertical bowl with exceptionally balanced wall thickness that leads into a robust, perfectly straight shank. The stummel is dressed in a vibrant, high-contrast honey-gold and warm chestnut stain, showing off a spectacular display of tight cross-grain along the flanks and a dense cap of birdseye across the flat rim.
The undeniable showstopper of this piece is the custom shank extension: a brilliant, translucent emerald-green ring sandwiched between two crisp brass bands. This pop of color pairs magnificently with the glowing tones of the briar, leading into a crystal-clean, high-gloss vulcanite saddle stem that finishes the classic straight profile beautifully.
Curation Notes:
Condition: Vault Mint / New Old Stock. Completely unsmoked, unlit, and factory-fresh. The raw briar chamber is immaculate, the rim is crisp and unmarred, and the vulcanite stem is jet-black with its original high-gloss factory polish.
Accessories: Includes the original, vintage Compaenen-branded soft leather drawstring pouch in excellent, supple condition.
Nomenclature: Stamped with razor-sharp definition on the smooth shank panels: Left side reads COMPAENEN, while the right side carries the shape code 403S.
