Ring road, Kolding in the mid-1950s, and pipes were branded KRISWILL. The Bernadotte model was designed by Sigvard Bernadotte, a Swedish prince and architect, with Acton Bjorn. Kriswill pipes were made for the Danish market until the company's failure in the late 1970s. The sandblast finish raises the grain, giving the pipe a textured feel under the thumb. The fishtail mouthpiece provides a comfortable smoking experience. BRIAR & FINISH The pipe is made from smooth, medium-grained briar, with a reddish-brown hue.
