Aircool

The following information is courtesy Smokingmetal.co.uk
Presumed to be by Edlund, seemingly identical to the Imperial Smoke Kooler (pat no 14323.. American made by the Edlund Co, Detroit, Michigan and distributed by the March Corporation, 608 S Dearborn St, Chicago Illinois) and the E & E Airflow.
An aluminium alloy stem and a vulcanite mouthpiece..The briar bowl is an insert inside a finned alloy cup that screws onto the stem 
Stamping under stem is ' AIRCOOL MADE IN CAN ' Unlike the Air Flow this pipe has a screw into the end of the stem, instead of the removable end cap. Unfortunately my example has been butchered in the past and this end screw is stuck fast.
 
The Aircool is labelled as made and distributed in Canada by Essential Agencies Limited, Toronto, Ontario. This has the same end screw as the Smoke Kooler. In all instances the initial purchases would apear to have been a boxed pipe with a spare briar insert included. The price list shows Bowls at $1 each, Stems @ $1.50, Pipe bits @ $1 and Radiator bowl @ $1.00
Further images on Imperial Smoke Kooler page
Overall Length: 134 m/m The briar insert has a chamber 22 m/m deep and with a diameter of 16 m/m

Alan Brothers Pipes

Jeff Gracik of J. Alan Pipes and his brother Jeremy have partnered to introduce a new line of benchmade pipes together.
What do they mean by "benchmade"? Jeff's own handmade pipes are time and labor intensive to create, making it impossible to produce more than 100-120 pieces in a given year. Given that the demand exceded Jeff's output for his hand made pipes, he and Jeremy began to talk about shapes that Jeff could design, shapes that would be distinctive, but could be partially made by machine. They decided to use the same briar sources that are used in Jeff's handmade pipes, and seeing how close they could come to the handmades while doing the rough work in a factory and having all the fitting, refining, and finishing accomplished by skilled artisans. Borrowing a word from the shoe and knife making communities, they decided to call these pipes ‘Benchmade.’ 
The result was Alan Brothers Pipes, which they launced in 2015, after two years of development and training.
Alan Brothers Pipes are available at Smokingpipes.com

Albert-John

Albert-John Briars, Ltd. was a Milwaukee, Wisconsin pipe company founded in 1976 by Evan C. Schwemer. At least one line of pipes, named Albert-John, was produced by the company after they apparently stopped doing business in 1987 or soon after, and examples seen meet the Danish freehand style so popular at the time. It appears that this brand was a private line made for Uhle's, in that when the company was originally founded through August 22, 1977, it was named Uhle Tobacco Corporation, distinct from the Uhle Tobacco Company, Inc. which has owned Uhle's since 1981.

Alberto Paronelli

The brand Paronelli collects inside a family passion that was born in 1945 when Jean-Marie Alberto Paronelli decided to give free rein to his artistic side.
The continuous search for quality and perfection brought Alberto Paronelli to create unique pieces prized and sought after worldwide.
The ideas and the canons of the founder have been handed down from generation to generation and even now all the pipes are handmade with Italian first choice briar.
His grandson, Ariberto Paronelli, which has succeeded over the years at the helm, continues with passion and dedication to the work started by the founder of designing and creating classics models with a modern twist. Annual production is around 1000 pieces.
Ariberto also works on commission. If you have in mind a pipe of your dreams he will be happy to achieve it. 
For Paronelli family the pipe is a matter of the heart.
Noted by José Manuel Lopes as "one of the 'fathers' of pipe creation and design "one of the 'fathers' of pipe creation and design."
==Notes==
Jean Marie Alberto Paronelli was born in Gavirate on 21st December 1914.
After studying in Switzerland and Italy, he went to London at the age of 18 to complete his vocational training. He turned out to be cut out for foreign languages, so much so that he spoke and wrote English, French, German and Spanish fluently. He studied and became fond of humane letters and people’s history. In London he used to hang out at the Savoy Hotel and got to know Pipe art, as he used to go to Burlington Arcade’s shops regularly. He first became collector and then consultant for other collectors. After he came back to Italy he started to work for Leonida Rossi and established an office in Milan to trade Rossi pipes. In the Sixties he bought the beautiful directory style sample room of the factory, which had just closed down. He regularly corresponded with the major living intellectuals passionate about pipe art, and he founded the magazine “La Pipa”.
Alberto Paronelli was a unique and fantastic personality in pipe’s world, as defined in the presentation of the great designers from Brebbia, for which he designed an egg-shaped curved model. He believed in human relations and friendship above all. Even now enthusiasts from all over the world meet in his house and in the near Museum of the Pipe. He used to tell lots of pleasant anecdotes. You felt like a child in a fairyland and began to understand that Alberto told a different story to everyone to teach them something. What struck most was his vitality, typical of those who have never worked a day, because he did work with great passion. In his museum of the Pipe, open to new and old friends, you can still find journalists looking for an interesting subject to write about, sculptors and friends, ceramists. His creativity expressed in words but also in painting and sculpture. He enjoyed painting very much, but he also enjoyed modeling clay. After studying the Mayan culture he modeled a beautiful series of statuettes.

Alco

The Alco pipe was launched in 1964 by Falcon. George Hunt, who had taken over leadership of Falcon in 1949, realized that Comoy's was already marketing a line of Falcon pipes, and so when he began distribution in the United Kingdom the decision was made to buff th e F and N off of Falcon pipes as the aluminum was sufficiently thick to permit the change. Eventually Falcon pipes were marketed in the U.K. under that name, and the Alco name was applied to a different pipe, with smaller threading than a standard Falcon.

Alden Pipes

From the Alden Pipes Website
Alden Pipes are made by hand in Rowlett Texas. The pipes are made of Italian or Algerian Briar. I also offer Morta, Strawberrywood and Olivewood pipes. I am fascinated by the endless beauty of natural materials, and offer accents of Ivory, Horn, Antler and a wide selection of native and exotic wood.
Born in Texas in 1979, I spent my childhood roaming the woods and creeks near the Sabine River in North Texas. Perhaps nothing in life shaped me as much as the quiet solitude of scrub oaks, cracked clay and long summer days. I have spent the rest of my life in and around the city of Dallas, but that love of nature and quiet has never left my soul.
Texas schools are strong in arts and vocational training, and over the years I studied Ceramics, Sculpting, Drawing, Painting, Horticulture, Leatherworking, and Wood Turning. I never considered this a foundation, but I find myself drawing on all of these experiences as I move forward and grow as a Pipemaker.
The Alden name crossed the sea from Plymouth England in 1620. John Alden was a Ships Carpenter in England, hired to repair the Mayflower while she lay off Southampton. Hiring on as the ships Cooper, John crossed the Atlantic with the Puritans and joined them as they landed at Plymouth Rock and established the colony of Plymouth Massachusetts.
His long list of descendants include Presidents, Inventors, Artists and Writers. The actress Marilyn Monroe, the poet Henry Longfellow and the director Orson Wells all trace their heritage to the marriage of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, and I am proud to carry that name.

Alexa Pipes

Aleksić Dragomir - Alexa was born in 1956, in Belgrade, Serbia. Formally educated as a mechanics engineer he acquired the skills needed around the machinery forty years ago. During his engineering career, he nurtured his talent for artistic woodcarving, as a hoby primarily. Long has he desired to combine his natural artistic talent and his education in precision engineering. Finally in 1995, his career took a change in direction when he decided to make his hoby a full time job, working as a designer and a woodcarver in furniture production at first and as an indipendent pipemaker today. 
What led him to be making smoking pipes specificly was pure luck, as it often happens with great moments in one's life. Years ago a chance meeting with an old acquaintance led him to witness a truly magnificet collection of smoking pipes in possesion of a passionate pipe smoker. Fascination followed promptly and a new passion was born! Smoking pipes had been a fascination of his in two ways - first, there was the beauty of form and material in them, elegance in their design, a true art form in its own right and second, the irresistible challenge of making a functional product that requires skill, knowledge and patience to be made. Great determination was required and produced to learn as much as one can about pipesmoking, pipemaking, about tobacco, materials, about the art of it all. As a result of his hard work, a number of pipes have been made and presented at Alexapipe Website and on Facebook.

Alexander Hasty

In the Summer of 2011, Alexander Hasty set out to make a tobacco pipe. Going into the project, he knew nothing at all about tobacco pipes or how they were made, but was confident that he could make something functional for himself. Using a piece of wood and my his grandpa’s workshop, he made something that resembled a tobacco pipe. Not what he had hoped, but it was a start. Gathering what information he could from online forums and YouTube videos, he continued making pipes, each one better than the last. Throughout this process, he found a true passion. 
After graduating from college, Hasty decided to take up pipemaking full-time. He was fortunate enough to spend some time with Grant Batson, learning in his workshop. That experience served as a major turning point, not only in his pipemaking abilities, but in the overall quality of the pipes he was producing. Batson's mentorship, as well as the mentorship of other established pipe makers, has allowed Alelander to continue the development of his craft in pursuit of making the highest quality tobacco pipes.

Alexander Briar Pipes
Update:Today I am saddened by the news that Alexander passed away on February 10th, 2015. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. We are very thankful for his contributions to the World of pipes. --sethile (talk) 21:00, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
"I am Alexandros Zavvos, born in Molos, Thermopylae, near Lamia. Since I was a child I had an inclination for art, starting with painting. I studied Radio-electronics, and at age 23 I got involved with commerce with a capital of 150.000 drs. in 1962. 
I entered the pipe business where I met, by total chance, with Mr. Libero G. Albanese, first technician and producer of briar-wood models in Kalabria, Italy. When I told him that I am Greek, he almost prayed, saying that we Greeks have the best briar in the world for pipe-making! From that moment on I understood that this fellow is in love woth his work - and he transmitted that to me instantly!
From mid-1962 to 1963 I searched all over the world for a college or a school in order to be taught the art of pipe-making, but in vain - there were none. Moreover, I wasn't able to make it through the big European pipe-makers of that time (British, Italian, Danish). I was convinced that only through experience there was a chance of me becoming what I wanted.
In 1964 I started the commercial briar-wood model production, in 1965 I constructed empirically my first pipe and in 1967 I started the vertical production (this is from the briar Greek woods to the consumer) - maybe there is no other factory in the world producing smoking pipes vertically.
In 1970 I started the research, which was accomplished in 1984, on the 1st generation hygrostatic system. In that same period we founded, my brother and I, our factory in Lamia for the production of ebony epistomes. 
Today, 40 years later, I have succesfully arrived at the production of the 5th generation hygrostatic pipe. I will finish by saying that this pipe, to what concerns the pleasure it provides, has nothing to do with that pipe for peace, offered by American Indians."
The Alexander Briar Pipes website still sells briar pipes of several styles, including "Hygrocool", "Hygrocool NT", regular pipes, cigarette pipes and pocket pipes, along with briar blocks, acrylic and ebonite stems and accessories.

Alexander Tupitsyn

In 2008, at the age of 25, Alexander Tupitsyn joined Russian master Vladimir Grechukhin and Sergey Dyomin to form the PS Studio pipe concern, often referred to by the members as "The Project". The nickname is evocative of experimentation and exploration, and that, in great part, is the aim of PS studios. Under the guidance of Grechukhin, Alexander and Sergey began making high-quality briar whose shapes nudged against the envelope of convention, and did so with a pricing structure that was amazingly affordable.
While Alexander still works at PS Studio, continuing to advance his art under the eye of Vladimir Grechukhin (and if one sought ongoing mentorship, they could do far worse than a direct successor of the St. Petersburg School), and has also received instruction from the 'Master of Facets', Poul Ilsted, who visited PS Studios in the Summer of 2012, Tupitsyn is now channeling his formidable talents into briars that wear his mark.
Looking at the work of Alexander Tupitsyn, a great deal of Danish influence is readily apparent; his shapes usually follow a neoclassical form and often feature the facets and fluting seen in the work of Ilsted. At the same time, on occasion, Alexander's work will show subtle hints of the proportional aesthetic of the new schools, creating intuitive and fascinating hybrids. Courtesy, smokingpipes.com
