Hialeah

From what I've found on the web HIALEAH pipes were sold by Whitehall Products Co. (a division of Helme Products) prior to 1975. Whitehall was in Wheeling, West Virginia, and Helme somewhere in New Jersey. All I've seen have been made of Algerian Briar and are reported to be great smokers.

Higuchi

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes and Islando.com
Junichiro Higuchi was born at 1930 in Tokyo. He began making pipes in 1974, and received the first prize of a handmade pipe contest the same year. He makes about 50 pipes a year in shapes reminiscent of those made by his Danish colleargues. He also uses ivory, horn, and bamboo.

Hilson

Jean-Claude Hillen (other sources: Jean-Paul) founded a trading company in the City of Bree in 1846. He soon turned his main interest on pipes and other tobacco related goods.
Particularly in the 1960's and still throughout the 1970's the brand Hilson of Broers Hillen B.V. (Hillen Bros. Co.) was quite successful in many European countries. They produced large numbers of machine made pipes covering the whole range of shapes and finishes. The pipes were well respected for good quality and craftsmenship at very moderate prices.
Rarely seen there are also nice freehands from this era stamped MASTRO and signed by A.M. Sanoul, who is otherwise completely unknown as a pipemaker.
All the same, in 1980 Hillen faced major financial problems. At this time there was only a second manufacturer of briars pipes in the Benelux countries, the Elbert Gubbels & Zonen B.V. in the Netherlands. The Belgian competitor being in trouble, Gubbels used the favour of the hour and bought up the company. The reason is plausible: in some countries, particularly in Germany, Hilson held larger market shares than Gubbels' mainstay brand Big Ben.
The Hillen plant in Bree was closed down shortly after and ever since then Hilson pipes are manufactured in Roermond, NL.

Holbek

About Gert Holbek (b. 31 October 1928, d. 7 May 2022) by Jacob Groth
Gert Holbek was probably the oldest living Danish pipe maker - after the death of Sixten Ivarsson, - since Gert Holbek was born in 1928. He was for sure the oldest active pipemaker and he is definitely the one who had been in business for the longest time. He started with Poul Rasmussen in 1953.
After one year and more than ten thousand pipe repairs later (Holbek tells), he opened his own work shop and he has carved pipes ever since.
For a number of years he made about two hundred pipes per year. They were all sold through Pibe Dan, where many of his designs became a standard of the store until the shop closed in 1991. Pibe Dan’s English catalogs from the 60’s would show his pipes and brought his name to both Europe, Japan and USA.
In the latter years the number of pipes has gone considerably down, but he can’t really leave the challenge of a beautiful piece of briar. The few pipes he is making are almost exclusively sold in Japan, where he has had many devoted fans for many years.
In spite of his almost 50 years in the pipe business, he is not very well known among pipe smokers in Denmark. For long periods Holbek worked primarily with industrial design and technical innovations. His sense of form and idiom can be recognized in the set of knife, fork and spoon, called Prism, that he drew together with a friend from childhood at the beginning of the 60’s. The set is still sold in large quantities all over the world.
Gert Holbek has also taken out a number of patents and he “invented” 2211 – probably the best cleaning fluid for pipes because it both dissolves the residue, it disinfects and it impregnates the smoke passage in the shank and the mouthpiece.
The pipe design of Gert Holbek is distinctly his own. Even from a long distance, you can tell that this is a Holbek pipe.
Not much tells you that he originally started with Poul Rasmussen, perhaps only that many of his pipes have rather tall and slender bowls. His very tall pipes, called chimneys, were created in collaboration with the Pibe Dan owner.
The pipes are almost ascetic (his own word). You will never find a ring, a ferrule or any decoration on a Holbek pipe. His shaping has soft, but springy lines with soft passage between bowl and shank and the edge of the bowl is mostly concave.
The smooth pipes are mostly straight grain in a warm reddish-walnut finish.
Holbek always grinds the edge of the bite (the lip) slantingly.
 The pipes of Gert Holbek are rather rare and you will seldom find new ones on the market.
 A few new pipes can, from time to time, be found here:

There may be more than one company making pipes for them, but there are recent examples showing up on eBay, which are clearly made by Design Berlin.

Hollywood Briar

Hollywood Briar
The artisan behind Hollywood Briar is David Hopper, born Jan. 21., 1972. David lives in a small college community in Southeast Missouri, with his wife Leanne and his 2 children; Ashton and Kate. In his main profession he works as a financial advisor.
He had quit on pipe smoking for a while but picked it up again, enjoying the relaxing nature and freedom it allows him. His favorite tobaccos are all over the spectrum with Va/Pers now leading the way. He's also smoked cigars now for 4 years and that is his main smoking staple. David decided to try his hand at carving considering this as somewhat of a dare and a challenge to see what he could do.
The first pipe was made from a pre-drilled pipe kit with a bent stem found on eBay. Viewing back, it wasn't an ideal piece of wood, but it turned out ok and gained him friendly critics on the Pipemakersforum. David had hand carved the briar and trim cut the stem to match. At this point he hadn't set up much of a shop area yet, so all was done with a coping saw, rasps, and sandpaper. Since then he added a Dremel, set up a buffing station and other basic machine tools for a better finishing process.

Eager to improve his skills continously David attended the pipe making seminar at Chicago Pipe Show with Kirk Bosi and Brian Ruthenberg as main instructors. But also Teddy Knudsen, Jeff Gracik, Alex Florov, Brad Pohlmann and others more stopped by to add help and advice. This participation turned out some very nice blasted pieces. Considering the short time he's around as a pipemaker the progress is astonishing!

Holmgaard

Courtesy of "Pipendoge" Jörg Rolf Lehmann
Jens Holmgaard was born in 1937 in Slagelse, Denmark. He was a trained woodwork teacher in Stenlöse Youth school between the years 1976-1993. Jens lived, and had a workshop, not far from Sixten Ivarsson´s and could actually see into his workshop windows.
Jens was always much interested in art and sculpture and through his friendship with Sixten he was able to learn to make pipes.
During the years 1980-1995, Jens made pipes under the guidance of Sixten, but he could never bring himself to sell any of his pipes, nor did he ever stamp his pipes with his name, even though he prepared to do it. In the middle of the 90´s he grew weaker from illness, so it never happened.
Jens passed away in 2004 and his brother took care of his pipes and contacted Lars Ivarsson who advised him to contact Per Billhäll to sell Jens' pipes.
His pipes are very well executed with remarkably good briar and show a lot of ceativity. Although you can see the influence of Sixten, Jens also developed a style of his own. Because of the scarcity of pieces made and the special relationship to his friend Sixten Ivarsson, the Dean of Danish pipemakers, Jens' pipes are very collectible.

Holtorp

H. Dan-Christensen's shop Pipe-Dan at Vestergade 13 - just off Copenhagen's Town Hall Square - was one of the most important turntables for upcoming as well as established pipemakers and pipe enthusiasts from all over the world from the 1960's to the 1980's.
P. Holtorp was one of the many artisanal carvers who worked in the periphery of Pipe-Dan. In the 1960's - maybe up to the early 1970's - he was one of the in-house pipemakers working together with Sven Knudsen, Gert Holbek, Axel Svend Celius, Tom Eltang - just to name a few. Later he worked from his own shop but still sold most of his pipes via Pipe-Dan.
Holtorp never became as famous as some of the names mentioned. Most probably, because the majority of his pipes was a bit different from the Danish "fancy freehands" and more striving for elegance. The typical Holtorp features bold lines and forms. Some are very manly pipes, so to say, rather made for stronger built pipesters. Accordingly the weight tended to be considerable - e.g. 118g the pipe shown below. Many were versions of earlier Holbek or Pipe-Dan designs. His "Bird" shape pipes for Pipe-Dan are clean simple shapes that have become Danish classics.
Holtorp's craftsmanship and execution match very high standards. Straight grains from his hands are more than a rarity but the dense and flawless graining of his pipes is remarkable.
Estates by Holtorp don't ask the prices of some other contemporaneous Danes by far - Thus an excellent buy for those who love a quality pipe if they can find them.

Howard

Tom Howard was a popular comedian and personality in the 1940s/50s, known for vaudeville stage and radio work. But he also was a skilled pipe maker. In a Popular Mechanic article from 1947 he is written up as the "Hobbyist of the Month, Tom Howard." He made pipes in his workshop outside his home in Red Bank, NJ. starting about 1939, and looks like into the late 1940's or later. He purchased briar blocks by the bag as well as stem blanks, and in his well equipped shop he hand crafted his pipes, in about three hours on average. He was a true craftsman, also specializing is intricate model boats, trains and brass canons, all built to scale.

Howell

Jack's website
Jack Howell plays clarinet in the Pittsburgh Symphony and makes pipes part time. Except for when the symphony isn’t playing — vacation, say, or a global pandemic — then pipe production goes into gear. For current production, check out www.howellhandmade.com. And maybe have a look at the blog.
The following is Jack's bio from his website:
Jack Howell, Maker
"Every rabbit needs two holes" — Jack's Dad
I have early memories of watching my uncles whittle things with their pocketknives. I was, I dunno, six or seven years old when I started asking for a pocketknife so I could whittle. My dad said, no, I'd cut myself. But he gave me a file and access to a pile of cedar shingles that we used for kindling and said when I could make things with a file we would talk.
Perhaps that was meant as discouragement because a regular bastard file isn't much for wood removal, but it's not much for skin removal either, so there's that. I set to with the file. Before too long I'd settled on my first oeuvre, a sort of Easter Island head. Which turned into the pommel of letter openers, and before long my dad gave me a knife, a Cub Scout model with one cutting blade and a can opener. I headed straight for the shingle pile, where it took me about ten minutes to cut myself.
Anyway, I've been making things for a long time, gradually getting to the point where I used tools with which I could no longer afford to cut myself. Along the way I became a professional musician, my manual skills coming in handy making clarinet reeds. I've also made knives, and bamboo fly rods (you can get a book I wrote about that at www.thelovelyreed.com), and other stuff. I started making pipes in 1999 and sold my first one in 2004. I went to a few Chicago and Columbus shows, was pretty visible on the old ASP forum, yada yada yada. My production has gone up and down as my musical employment has gone up and down, but for a number of years it stayed around 50 pipes a year. Once I joined the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra as bass clarinetist I only made a few pipes here and there on commission, because, well, I was practicing my ass off.
​Recently my dad's wisdom has become evident. When I went to dust off my website it had come unhooked from my domain host, no idea how long it had been down and nobody had said anything about it, so . . . 
​I'm back.

Humidor Pipes

I am Bogdan, born in 1968, a passionate pipe maker living in Romania. I started making pipes in 2008 when I bought a pre drilled briar block from pipe-shop.net. Since then, pipe making is one of my hobby.
I use briar from Italy, Greece and Spain. For drilling and other operations I use a modified lathe from Sherline.
My stems are hand shaped from acrylic or ebonite rods from Marco Janzen or SEM ebonite. Also I use materials like exotic woods, silver, copper for shank or stem interts.
As finish I use sandpaper, stains, carnauba, shellac, and so on.
Since pipe making is only a passion for me I can turn out around 1-4 pipes per month.

Hungarian Kalmasche, 1850

The following submission is courtesy of Racine & Laramie Tobacconist:
After the crushing of the 1848-49 Hungarian bid for independence from the Habsburg Empire, media advocating separation from Austria was illegal. But, art featuring Hungarian history, the Conquest of the Carpathian Basin the princes Álmos and Árpád took on contemporary political significance. At a time when Hungary was being denied its sovereign rights, the pictures of Árpád claiming the land and of the contract between the settling Hungarian tribes sealed with blood from their chieftains collected in a bowl served as symbols of the freedom of the Hungarian nobility to choose their own kings as laid down in the constitution of hundreds of years tradition. It also demonstrated an attitude by the Hungarian nobility towards their history. 
	
This wood pipe is carved with a scene of Árpád claiming the land. It is executed with minute attention to the details of the original lithograph by Geiger. The master craftsman was especially successful in the arrangement of the figures upon the cylindrical surface of the pipe head. The leaf ornamentation on the slender neck section is also delicate. Although the earliest of the graphic originals date from 1840s, this pipe was probably made in the late fifties and early sixties, when the Sunday periodical Vasárnapi Újság republished the prints. Our example’s cap is hallmarked with “Bartsch” and a Hungarian punch consisting of the Hungarian cross and number 13. Pure silver is 16 loth so 13 loth is .820 purity.

Hynick

When Tim Hynick showed his first pipes the first reports were quite enthusiastic saying his pipes actually should ask twice the price and "Hurry before he gets real famous!".
Nevertheless, Hynick, living in the Boston area, Massachusetts still seems to be an insider tip among pipe dabsters from New England.
Based in Massachusetts, USA, Tim is grateful for the help and support he received from several very accomplished and great American pipe makers during the early years of his pipe making. He uses quality briar, which he gets from reliable sources that other high end pipe makers use. Most of Tim's pipes are Danish style freehands and medium to large size classics. Attention to detail, creativity and great craftsmanship would instantly strike the pipe collector, as soon as he holds a Tim Hynick Pipe. His rustication style and the rusticated pipes he carves are truly unique and exquisite. They look like early formations of rocks with their impressively craggy exteriors. Tim also hand turns, with great precision, very elegant acrylic and Cumberland stems, some of which may feature complimenting silver and copper ring inlays that add to the overall beauty of his finished product. Best of all, you will find his pipes to be very modestly priced, for a high quality handmade American pipe, given today’s wallet breaking prices in the high end category. 
The best source of information is an interesting article A Visit to Pipemaker Tim Hynick by Nelson Pidgeon - please enjoy!

Háp

Pavel Háp (1954-2011) was a Czech pipemaker from the little town of Proseč u Skutče ( pipemaking has a long tradition in the Proseč region and the pipe factory BPK is also located here). He worked for 25 years in the BPK factory with chief Jan Buben who taught him.
In 1999 he left the factory and founded a little workshop in his house. There he made pipes in a variety of classical shapes, as well as his original shapes. In his catalog there are over 100 pipes and many accessories which he maked.
For pipemaking he used plateaux briar from Italy.
Pavel Háp died in his workshop suddenly on March the 5th, 2011.
