Brand created 1914 by Emilio Navarro. The name for Briar in Valencian dialect is Bruc. Emilio replaced the "C" by a "K" and added his own intials EN to form one of the most significant names in the Spanish pipe business. Today (2010) his grandson Emilio Navarro Prosper heads the business which produces finished and half-finished bowls for sale by brands like Peterson (among others).

Artisan: Christopher Brunton started to market his pipes in 2008 when he still stayed in Austria. Moving back to US (Carmichael CA) he established as a full time carver in late 2008.

This is actually a no-name pipe but I couldn't resist featuring the rare butterfly logo decorating its stem.
