Ljung

By Jan Andersson
Why do you start making pipes when you have passed 50 and have been a successful businessman during your whole grown-up life? The explanation is found in a brochure from the beginning of the 60’s, in which Arne tells us about himself. Please read it carefully! I sincerely hope that you will get the same feeling of wisdom and “joie de vivre” as I got when I read it:
I am a pipemaker and a happy human being.........
Can you be happy when you are 58 years old?
Can you be happy when you 3 years ago got a life-threatening illness?
When you due to this illness had to leave an occupation as a managing director for a car company?
The answer is Yes! – Despite all that I am a happy human being!
-happy to be alive...
-happy that a long standing hobby has become a stimulating way to earn my living...
-happy to be an integrated human being...
-happy to have the time and possibility to smell the flowers along the road...
-happy to be engaged as the first and only teacher in pipe-making as a hobby...
-happy to be the only pipe-maker in Sweden...
-happy that my pipes have been appreciated not only in Sweden, but on the continent and in the U.S. as well...
-happy that as long as the last pipe-smoking individualist is still alive, pipe-making as a handicraft of art will survive
-happy that THE SWEDISH SOCIETY FOR INDUSTRIAL DESIGN has my pipes on its exhibition ART – HANDICRAFT...
Yes, that was what I wanted to tell.
Arne Ljung 
 
Arne Ljung died in 1998, 85 years old. He had then suffered from cancer for more than 30 years, but not until the very last year he was too weak to work. There are not many of his pipes left here in Sweden, as the main part was exported. Most of his pipes are probably to be found in Japan, where Arne more or less became a legend and huge prices were paid for his work of art.

Lobnik

Gregor Lobnik lives in Kamnica, near Maribor, the second largest city in Slovenia, not far from the border with Austria. He has a wonderful wife and a daughter. In his main profession he works in landscape preservation and therefore he's connected closely to nature.
As a pipemaker he practiced himself since 2003 learning to make pipes from, and is good friends with, Austrian master Peter Matzhold. Matzhold's influence is evident both in the mechanics and the aesthetics of Lobnik's compositions, where the focus is on conservative, structured shapes and excellent grain.
He soon reached a remarkable level, as his entry to 2004's P&T pipe carving contest ranked among the Top Ten!
The pipes are not graded because Lobnik does not think too good of such systems. Each pipe is made with equally high claim to quality and gets priced individually to be consistent. The price is based primarily on the procurement costs for the very best raw materials.

London Castle Pipes

By Maxim W. Engel
1919 - 1999. Founded in 1919, it was originally known as Davies & Huybrecht. One of the smallest and most obscure of the older British pipe makers. Their specialty was the making of pipes with flawless wood in traditional British shapes from Algerian briar. Their pipes were available only from Smith's Snuff Shop in London. Each pipe was offered without the stem and the customer then specified the stem he wanted.
In the late 1990's the last Mr. Huybrecht retired and passed away a few years later. He left over a 100 bowls. Many were unstained and without stems. In June of 2006 we located the old bowls and are now having them stained and stemmed. The mouthpieces are hand cut Vulcanite and every pipe is stamped "London Castle, G. Huybrecht".
We are extremely pleased to offer a limited selection of London Castle pipes by the late G. Huybrecht. The bowls we have are the last of an 80 year old tradition of British pipe making. They are classic British shapes and smaller pipes, averaging Group 3-4 size. The smooth are all virtually flawless. When they are gone, they are gone. This is your opportunity to own a part of British pipe making history.
 
Historical Note: British Prime Minister, ( 1964-1970, 1974- 1976), Sir Harold Wilson smoked mainly G.Huybrecht pipes (Zulu shape was his favorite).

London Meerschaum

"London Meerschaum made some pipes under the name of BELT or THE BELT, I had this confirmed by Bonds of Oxford St. who have 5 smooth bowl versions in stock at the time of writing, these look very similar to standard system full bent Peterson Meerschaums, the smooth versions have silverware stamped L&JS {Les & Dolly Wood, Ferndown } and has Belt and Genuine Block Meerschaum stamped on the bowl. I have seen 1 rusticated version with the same silverware and 2 of which I own 1, have gold plated ware with no hallmarks and are also stamped Belt and Genuine Block Meerschaum. Both smooth and rusticated have P-Lip type stems though the air hole is not on top but at the end as with most non Peterson P-Lips that I have come accross. I do not know when London Meerschaum ceased trading but I can say from the one Belt that I own, it's a very fine pipe and not cheap, well over the £100 mark when new." These pipes were evidently sold at least as early as the 1950's.
These may have been made by, or are affiliated with Pomeroy & Cooke Ltd., (Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes).

Londonaire

This gets a bit thick, so make sure you are finding information that pertains to your interests.
There is the Londonaire pipe also marked Calabresi, which was made by or for Thomas Cristiano
There is also the HOS Londonier marked Imported Briar.
And finally, there appears to be an older production pipe branded Londonaire, as can be seen by the existence of this display rack:
File:LondonaireShapeChar.jpg|Londonaire Shape Chart on the back of a display rack
File:LondonaireDisplayRack.jpg|Front of the display rack, loaded with cobs likely not original to the rack, as it indicates Selected Imported Briar. The price of $3.50 would indicate this is a much earlier Londonaire than those imported by Cristiano.

Lord Davenport Pipes

Lord Davenport Pipes were made in at least 6 known shapes (Dublin, Rhodesian, billiard, panel billiard, apple and Lumberman) and four finishes (The Shell, The Lord Davenport with a saddle stem, the Lord Davenport with a tapered stem, and The Drury). They were advertised as "non-clogging", and "non-juicing". These pipes were advertised in Fortune and Esquire magazines and sold through the Bennett Brother's catalogs. The pipes were advertised as sold by Davenport, Ltd., with a showroom located at 480 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, New York in 1944 to 1947, and at the same time are advertised as being from "Lord Davenport, Ltd." in Esquire in 1946. The advertisements by Davenport are of note in that they stressed the cosmetic appeal of a “pipe to fit every type of face.” The pipes retailed between $5.00 and $15.00 in 1946. No sign of these pipes is apparent prior to 1942 or after 1953.
While there isn't a lot of information readily available as to the origin of the Lord Davenport pipe and company, some reasonable speculation would place it in the hands of Henry Davenport Bellin of Providence, Rhode Island. He was granted at least 2 known patents related to pipes:
* US 2146613 A (applied 1938, awarded 1939) for a non-clogging, non-juicing, generally saliva-avoiding spring-twist-quick-disconnect, automatic cleaning mechanism to replace the typical mortise & tenon; and 
* US 2232092 A (applied 1940, awarded 1941) for an improvement to the prior design. This patent number later appeared on Pipes by Lee, and was assigned to Davenport, Ltd., suggesting a possible connection. However, no corroboration of this speculation has yet been found.

Loscalzo Pipes

Craig Loscalzo is a relatively new pipe maker from Lexington, Kentucky. He was influenced by Kai Nielsen (Fyn, Denmark) and trained under Tim West (Columbus, Ohio) and Ronni Bikacsan (Nashville, Tennessee). He became interested in making pipes following a visit to Kai Nielsen's shop in Fyn, Denmark. Craig is fortunate because his Danish brother-in-law Finn is an avid pipe smoker. Finn introduced Craig to the variety of Danish pipes available. 
Like many pipe makers, he was first a pipe smoker. But it doesn't take much for those with the interest and inclination to make the leap from pipe smoker to pipe maker.
Loscalzo Pipes was established to make available pipes that Craig makes. He makes his pipes under the registration of Pipes by CAL. Loscalzo Pipes also cleans and repairs pipes.

Lubinski Ltd.

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes'
Lubinski Ltd. was founded in 1962 by Wojciech Lubinski, or Polish origin. It is now run by his son, Mario Lubinski. 
R.D. Fields has this to say about Mario, in connection with their relationship through Il Ceppo: A word about Mario Lubinski, if I may. I have known Mario for twenty years or so, from the time he was one of a number of small distributors of pipes and smokers' accessories in Italy. Since that time Mario has become the largest such distributor in Italy and one of the largest in Europe. Why? A number of reasons, really, but I'll mention just one here - expertise. Many in our small industry are known as experts, but real expertise is very rare indeed. Mario is a true expert regarding everything to do with pipe making, although he would never say so himself. A few of Mario's credits? This man knows briar better than anyone with whom I have ever spoken, having dealt with all the briar sawmills throughout Italy over a period of thirty years. As both a designer and sourcer (one who can find the source) of quality products there is again no one better. Perhaps one would not think that a distributor has a hand in pipe design, but Mario helped design the Original Sherlock Holmes Series of pipes for Peterson, plus the original (closed) Sherlock Holmes pipe rack. I feel sure that those among you who smoke cigars have seen the Romeo & Julieta cigar cases - designed and made by Mario. My reason for writing this? To pay homage to a real expert in an area where many are faux.

Luciano

Luciano Pipes was established in Milan in 2007, with Luca di Piazza overseeing their production. Many of the pipes are worked on by the Radice family, and have been around since 1997. Originally producing mainly low-mid grade hand-finished pipes in classic English shapes with Italian twists and sold exclusively in China. 
Luciano pipes have now entered the US Market, with some of the designs from collaboration between Luca and Greg Pease (the Pease / Di Piazza pipes), which are usually smooth, though some can be sandblasted or rusticated. Each stem has an expertly-cut acrylic bit and turned tenon.
Bear Graves has a great interview with Luca that you can read on SmokingPipes.com: Interview: Luca di Piazza Part 1, Interview: Luca di Piazza Part 2

Luigi Pipes

From "Luigi Pipes" Website:
Several powers have been attributed to fire throughout history. The Greek, the Roman and the Mayan used to pulverize and spread herbs on the fire to aromatize the columns of smoke. They used to inhale that smoke because it would purify their bodies and they would obtain supernatural powers. Perhaps, this may have given birth to the origin of the pipe. It was probably the pleasure produced by the burning herbs which led man to the creation of a recipient with an extended mouthpiece that keeps the fire far from the lips and that nowadays is known as "pipe".
The use of the pipe hides a mythical background associated with ancestral symbols such as peace, union, pleasure as well as the particular meaning given by the one who smokes it in the present. It is for this reason that there exists one kind of pipe for each of us, for they are exclusively designed to suit every single personality. In this way, the smoker can choose among big and small, dark and light tones, gloss finished and flat finished pipes and also pipes with different kinds of curvatures.
Each pipe fits for the particularity of each smoker. The same happens with the tobacco, since different mixtures of it can be done in order to look for the taste and fragrance that suits each of us best.
The main pipe consumers were the European and they were the ones who introduced the first pipes into Argentina during the immigrations of 1900's. Since that moment, the use of the pipe had increased until the middle of this century. The first pipe factory was erected by an Italian immigrant called José Gaspar Arbotto who was very excited about working in Argentina. José and his siblings settled in the countryside. Some years later, his sister married an importer of pipes and tobacco, who was the owner of a carpentry shop where seats and ladders were made. José, who was very skilful at wood handling and engraving, proposed to his brother-in-law to manufacture their own pipes.
Originally, the pipes were made by hand. Later, the first machinery was brought from France. As the company began to profit, José bought the whole of it and he erected his first factory in Avellaneda city in 1910. At first, he used raw material from different countries but he realized that the best briar roots were the Italian, the French, the Greek and the ones belonging to the North of Africa.
Today, Luis Arbotto, José Gaspar's grandson, eighty eight years later, still continues with his family's job and tradition and he offers us the new line of Luigi´s Pipes.
