Balleby Pipes

Kurt Balleby Hansen (using his mother's maiden name as a pipemaker) began carving pipes in 1983. He studied the art by working with Kai Nielsen and Preben Holm, Danish pipe makers of high regard, who also lived in Kolding, Denmark. Six years later, in 1989, Balleby invested in his own machines and organized his workshop in the basement of his home.
Balleby Pipes are carved from specially selected Corsican briar blocks seasoned for five years. Balleby uses only plateau blocks with fine straight grain or exquisite cross grains. Balleby's ambition is to earn the recognition as one of the world's best pipe carvers. He spends a considerable amount of time on each pipe thus limiting his production to 200 to 250 pipes per year.
Each Balleby Pipe passes through approximately 150 detailed production steps. Balleby prefers the classical forms in the finest Danish tradition. For him the pipe is a man´s jewel and each pipe has to suit the owner in size and form. Over the past three to four years, Balleby Pipes earned a reputation as some of the finest pipes in the world. This is due in part to his unique artistic interpretations of traditional shapes and his finishing techniques.
Kolding, Denmark is located in a beautiful river valley in southern Jutland. The area was formed during the last Ice Age. With its picturesque scenery and stimulating climate, Balleby enjoys taking long walks and riding his bicycle through his valley. This gives him the freedom for inspiration and peace. Balleby has lived his whole life in Kolding. His father, Jens Villy Hansen, was a potato dealer at the local market. His mother, Alice Balleby Hansen, was a social worker in her active working life. Balleby honors his mother by using her maiden name for his pipes. Balleby lives with his wife Else and their two daughters Anne and Tine in an old house in Kolding.
Today, Balleby is recognized as one of the top pipe carvers in the world. In the November 1999 issue of the German magazine, Deutsche Tabak Zeitung, Balleby is called "the virtuous from Denmark".
All Balleby Pipe mouthpieces have a 14 carat gold inlay profile of a diamond as his signature mark.
Balleby has several grades of pipes ranging from Sandblasts, Grade "C", Grade "B", Grade "A", and rare Select grades.

Band Saw

The basis for the following article was written by Tyler Lane for his website, and is used by permission.
This is not a must-have piece of equipment, but it is one of the first "luxury" tools that I would recommend. It is very helpful to cut corners and chunks off of a block in a matter of seconds. My band saw is a small Delta model that I bought used. (You'll notice, if you read through the entire tooling section, that I have mostly Delta tools. That was largely by accident because I actually bought most of them used. They have, however, been good tools, and I do not hesitate to recommend them.) I recommend using a 3/8" wide wood blade for best results with briar.
Getting one's band saw properly adjusted is key to good performance from it. I recommend The Band Saw Handbook (link) for how to get the most from your band saw.
Baraccini

It appears the BARACCINI brand of pipes is offered from the shop Pipes and Cigars. Here is their own copy from the page featuring the line-up of models offered under the Baraccini brand: In the past, Baraccini often had a number of limited-run pipes and when people bought one and came back later to buy a different shape, they were gone. The new Baraccini lineup is different. These pipes, produced in Italy by a major manufacturer have been designed based on input from the P&C Faithful with all-new designs, finishes, and stem colors. These lines are meant to be around for some time, although there may be an occasional special purchase.
The brand includes the stunning Baraccini Copper Smooth and Sandblasted pipes that became so popular that we revived it early in 2019. Now we've added the beautifully colorful Capriccioso, the eye-catching Caffe con Panna, the compact and unique Leggero, and the gorgeously textured Strattura Ebano and Naturale. Shortly, we will be adding four more lines to offer you an even greater selection, but as always, Baraccini is designed to bring you attractive, quality briars at affordable prices.

Barclay Rex

Barclay-Rex, a downtown Manhattan tobacconist, was founded in 1910 by Vincent Nastri, a pipemaker from Salerno, Italy. The store was originally located at Barclay and Church Street, and the name was taken from that location and Nastri's beloved Great Dane, Rex. The business is still run by Vincent Nastri, III and owned by Vincent Nastri, Jr.. They have had several locations in New York City. The store has carried pipes from all fine makers, and the Barclay-Rex line of pipes is also much sought after, in that pipes were made in a range from the very inexpensive into the several hundreds of dollars. The pipes were, at least into the 1960's, made of Algerian briar. 
 
In addition to pipes made by Mr. Nastri over the years, Mr. Nastri, III, has been quoted as stating that a pipemaker just leaving Dunhill made pipes with a small off-white dot on the stem for a time for the shop. As was discovered by Steve Laug of Reborn Pipes, they were evidently made by a pipemaker whose initials were HGP, and stamped on the pipe as such. These pipes were made for a single run only, and then never made again.
While purportedly the initials of a pipe maker under the employ of Barclay-Rex, the initials "HGP" also appear in advertising for the Barclay Pipe Shop as early as 1920; the "HGP" initials evidently formed part of a trademark (see advertising below; The Pauw Wow, St. Peter's College NJ 1935-left, and The Nation 1921-right) that was featured on pipes and (perhaps later) tobacco. If one accepts that Dunhill began manufacturing its pipes in earnest "from start to finish" in 1920, a year by which the "HGP" trademark was already in use by the Barclay Pipe shop, the likelihood of "HGP" signifying the initials of a pipemaker formerly in the employ of Dunhill diminishes considerably.
In addition, Sasieni at least for a time made private label pipes stamped with the Barclay-Rex name, but with their own shapes and shape numbers.

Bargiel

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes
Philippe Bargiel is a French artisan who carves meerschaums accourding to the Vienna school, still treating and immersing the bowls in spermaceti, "an oil that comes from the frontal sinus cavity of the sperm whale, but in bleached wax", which according to Philippe, gives the pipe a nicer coloring as it is smoked. He learned this art at Sommer's workshop. At the moment his principal activity is the restoration of old meerschaum and briar pipes.
He accepts special pipe commissions, but the delivery date is always at least a year ahead and the prices are high. His pipes are normally for sale in shops, for example, A La Civette, and A I'Orientale, in Paris.

Baron

Here we have another mystery pipe. The nomenclature includes Roland, Baron, OLD FREHCH BRIAR, MADE BY K.F.S. Baron may be a grade designation. 
*See also Roland. 
The example bellow includes the same (or very similar) stamp on the stem as the pipe shown in the Roland article, but Roland is not stamped on the pipe in this example, just the stem. It appears to be a similar Danish influenced style. 
MADE BY K.F.S. is a mystery so far, but there is another example of a Baron made by K.F.S. with very similar nomenclature in a thread on PipesMagazine.com. There is no association with Roland in that example.

Baron Bruce

The following three (3) Baron Bruce pipes are courtesy of Peter Jaimez. They have a "facet" cut that he has never seen in another pipe, and the stem has a metal protection that he has not seen either.
They all have stingers, two exactly the same and one slightly different, he believes they are from the 50's or 60's but admits that as pure conjecture.
The three pipes are marked from top to bottom as follows:
 BARON BRUCE (all)

Barontini, Cesare

In 1890 Turildo Barontini opened a factory for the production of briar. In 1925 his son Bruno began to produce the first pipes. Cesare Barontini, son of Bruno, started direction of the factory in 1955, and still runs it together with his daughters Barbara and Silvia.

Barontini, Ilio

Cesare Barontini, who was in charge of the Barontini company since 1955, helped his cousin Ilio Barontini to establish a pipe production of his own.
Ilio started to produce a machine-made series pipes at the low to mid price points. 80% of the pipes went to foreign countries, the bulk being produced as various private label brands. Some of his own lines, such as "De Luxe", "Etna" or "Vesuvio" gained a certain popularity. 
Ilio Barontini pipes offer a wood quality that is somewhat unique in this price category. 
There are unconfirmed reports that the brand has since been absorbed by Cesare Barontini or perhaps Savinelli.

Bartlett Pipe Co.

The information that I have discoverd of this pipe seems to light from the bottom.
"A friend of mine [Daniel C. Bianchino; Intervale, NJ] invented and patented a revolutionary smoking pipe that lights from the bottom. A major manufacturer saw the promise and bought the idea 15 years ago, but it never took off. My friend got the patent back a few years ago and we've developed a new rock maple version that we call The Freedom Smoking Pipe. 
It smokes cool and easy. A stainless steel screen holds the tobacco and ash in place - nothing falls out. No moisture or resin accumulate in the bowl. A cork and leather top makes it wind and rain proof.
We had initial success wholsesaling through a well-known distributor. We were in about 100 tobacco shops nationwide, and appeared in the Levin catalog. Response from our early customers was strong - mostloved it, some hated it. Then interest dropped off and left us wondering what happened."from Adam Hirshan
== Patent 4,235,252 ==
A smoking pipe having improved smoking characteristics. The smoking pipe includes a bowl having top and bottom openings and a breather hole near the top opening and in communication with a pipe stem. A cover assembly is attached to the bowl adjacent to the top opening and covers the top opening when the pipe is to be smoked. A retainer having a screen cooperates with the bottom opening for retaining smoking tobacco within the bowl while permitting access to the tobacco for the ignition thereof. The retainer may also be removed from its position relative to the bottom opening for the removal of ashes. Tobacco is inserted into the bowl via either opening, but preferably via the top opening and to a level just below the breather hole. With the cover assembly covering the top opening, the tobacco is ignited via the screen of the retainer, causing combustion of the tobacco in a bottom-to-top fashion. New tobacco may be added to existing tobacco via the top opening and ashes may be removed via the bottom opening, even as the smoking process takes place. The bottom-to-top combustion minimizes puddling of tobacco juices or the requirement of drying out periods and facilitates lighting the pipe in the presence of wind, rain, etc. The lack of obstruction of the breather hole by the presence of tobacco results in a smooth draw with the generation of a substantial, satisfying volume of smoke.https://patents.google.com/patent/US4235252

Bartoli

Bartoli Pipe
"Bartoli factory was born in the fifties in Massa Marittima, in the heart of the Tuscan "Marmma". It owes its experience to it's promoter, Pietro Bartoli, who in the twenties, at a young age, mastered the art of carving pipes from briar.
Pietro Bartoli and his son Mauro managed in the mid-seventies to export pipes all over the world and to make the Bartoli brand appreciated as a guaranty of high quality.
Daniela today, thanks to his experience, brings new vital energy and new ideas for the natural evolution of the firm. They personally oversee the accurate handicraft that this product needs and enrich the traditional production of pipes with a wide and varied range of briar articles.
Every Bartoli item is realized exclusively in "Erica Arborea" briar, a wild shrub which is typical of the Mediterrean bush and is native of Corsica, Calabria, Tuscany and Greece.
The briar is subterranean outgrowth of the plant rooot, which is to be at least 20 years old to have the right qualities of compactness and resistance to combustion.
It's only after a long and natural seasoning, however, that the briar is ready to be trasformed by Bartoli's craftmanship."

Bazzanelli

Cachimbos Bazzanelli was founded on 07/29/2001, built in the back of the house of its founder, in the municipality of Timbó / SC., by Mauro Marcos Bazzanella.
The confidence in his product made him take a suitcase, fill it with pipes and, without a fixed clientele, leave for the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Santa Catarina and São Paulo.
Always with the confidence that every pipe smoker knows how to differentiate a product carefully elaborated and knowing that each customer is unique, as well as each pipe that is completely handmade, made with all the care and patience. The reception was great and in a short time our company became the differential in the national market.
The Cachimbo Bazzanelli Company has a virtual store with the purpose of breaking the existing paradigms in relation to national and imported pipes. Bazzanelli Pipes is a company that sells unique and personalized pipes, which makes it different in the market.
Working with more than 100 differentiated products in the pipe line, the products are sold in retail and wholesale and have the guarantee of quality and price compatible with the Brazilian market.

Bech

Knud might very well be the youngest pipe maker in Denmark, but he was under the good influence of the late Peter Hedegaard and “Johs” and he has the skills needed for making fine pipes.
For now, Knud is part-time pipe maker, but that will change someday.
I’m Knud Bech, from a small town called Tårs with app. 2500 inhabitants situated in the northern part of Denmark, in a region called Vendsyssel.
I’m 35 years old and have a fulltime job besides pipe making.
My interest in pipes goes back many years. Pipe smoking seemed so quiet and pleasant, so I told myself that I might enjoy it.
When I had been smoking for a while, I thought it would be fun to manufacture a pipe.
A friend liked my pipe and asked me to make one for him. And so I did. He was very pleased with his pipe, and thus my interest in making pipes myself grew.
At the present moment I have been making pipes for 8 years, but still only as a hobby. But as time passes I keep making more and more pipes, and in the long term I hope to be able to make a living out of it.
Many of the pipes are made with Cumberland stems. Several are made with different rings: wood – silver – bamboo.
Some of the pipes are beautifully rusticated; my wife Lotte is in charge of this beautiful work. She also designs many of the pipe models. We often sit together in the workshop with a pot of coffee, enjoying ourselves.
Our last investment is sand blasting equipment, so now we do all sandblasting ourselves.
Instead of stamping the pipes like most pipe makers do, we have chosen to engrave the logo into the shank and the stem. This also makes it possible to make custom engravings.
Thank you for spending time reading about us.

Beck

Aaron Beck
Aaron Beck was one of the earliest American carvers who turned to freehand pipe making in the modern sense.
He created exceptionally fine pipes since the mid 1950's in Queens, New York, before retiring later to Florida, said to have passed away in 1984. The hallmark of his work was his unique ability to combine bits of wood and other materials in a kind of sandwich manner to stems and / or shanks that added a very special dimension to the smoking instrument. Few other carvers following him could combine substances with the same creativity and mastery as Beck without sliding to produce gaudy trash. He was one of the first people to experiment with acrylic inlays in stems. He may also be the designer of the DC (Double Comfort) stem for Charatan. The stampings on his pipes was quite inconsistent, many having no stamp at all.
Shank nomenclature: "A. Beck" (in script), "Custom Made".

Becker & Musicò

Paolo Becker, son of famed pipemaker Fritz Becker and Massimo Musicò, son of Giorgio Musicò, former manager of the famous Carmignani pipe shop in Rome, joined together in a pipe shop in 1990, and in 1995 began to make pipes together. The pipes were turned by Paolo on the lathe and finished by hand, and Massimo fit the mouthpieces and crafted spigots and silver bands to go with the pipes. Most were sandblasted, and approximately 2,000 pipes a year were made. The blasted pipes were stamped with "Five Years" denoting pipes made in 1995, and an additional number was added for each year, so that 5 years - 3 for example would refer to 1998. Smooth pipes were stamped with the years since 1990, so that a "6 years" pipe would have been made in 1996. The pipes were imported to the United States by R.D. Field, until 2002 when Becker returned to full time pipemaking under his own name. From 2002 on Becker & Musicò pipes were only sold in their shop, if at all.
Sadly, Paolo Becker died in 2014. Massimo Musicò continued to make pipes after the partnership ended under the Foundation name.
