Price, Mark

Mark Price is a part time pipe maker from Springfield, MO. When Mark’s friend and fellow pipe maker, Matt Roussell, started making pipes, it piqued Mark’s interest in the hobby as a whole. 
Soon Mark had acquired several estate pipes, tobacco, and was intrigued by the pipe making process. A long time wood worker, it was inevitable that he try his hand at it.
Influenced by Todd M. Johnson, Jody Davis, Tyler Beard and Jeff Gracik, Mark began applying his skill to the craft. Early on it was clear that Mark had natural talent when it came to capturing the essentials of design. In a short amount of time, and with tutelage from other high profile American carvers, Mark began to produce pieces that are quite impressive. Flowing curves, lines, and well sculpted panels are all characteristics of Mark’s work. Mark’s production is currently low, however you can be sure that every piece is exceptional, the work of a gifted craftsman. Courtesy, Smoker's Haven
Mark, who is only on his 37th pipe, is focusing his time & energy not on the business side but rather on the subtle & minute details related to pipe design.
Mark will literally spend several hours scratching his head about how to make this or that line on a pipe. As Mark says it himself: “Its a very slow process for me but I do want to stop & think about it at every step. I don’t like making mistakes. I want it done right. If there is a better way to finish a pipe I am working on right now, I want to learn that new method.” Do you think Mark is a perfectionist? Mark is creative design soul searching & with each pipe he is trying to figure out how to make it better before he even starts on it.
With that kind of mind set, Mark is not ready to make this a full time business because he wont be able to make enough pipes per month to survive. Soon though, he will get into his comfort zone and start producing faster. I imagine that Mark’s personality will always be pushing the design envelope in one way or another. Watch out for this guy. With less than 40 pipes under his belt he has great potential to become one of the best in the US. Courtesy, Tobaccodays.com:

Prince Of Wales

"It is quite a three pipe problem, ..."
* The name "Prince of Wales" was used at times by GBD for a sub-brand.
* Pipephil shows English made Prince of Wales which bear the Union Jack (the flag of the United Kingdom) as logo.
:: Also listed by Pipephil is a brand named P.O.W. attributed to a Scottish firm G.M. Frame. Now, if P.O.W. doesn't stand for "prisoner of war", this might be an indication that there are two different Prince of Wales productions.
* Danish made semi-freehands stamped "PRINCE OF WALES" + "DANISH LINE" + "HANDMADE IN DENMARK". The stems, as usual for the bulk of such pipes, often as stitch in stems. Decorated with a white ring and a stylized Danish flag. (Were once mentioned as order production for GBD. - Unconfirmed!)
* Prince of Wales Made in Italy. Quotation: "In the spirit of the Bing's Favorite Pipe, Savinelli expands it's line of pipes favored by famous pipesmokers. Prince of Wales Favorite series features a new mosaic designed mouthpiece which gives it a unique look like no other series. This pipe can be used with or without Savinelli balsa inserts (20pk included)."

Prior

As to Prior was a sub-brand of GOC, which stands for Gros, Grenier, Ostero & Cie., an early brand from Saint-Claude, France.
A GOC sub-brand / second was named Prior. The name "Gros" also appears in context with a privity named Vincent-Genod, Duparchy & Gros, who bought Comoy-David - Fabrique des Pipes - in 1923.
Just one year later the name was Vincent-Genod & Gros Frères.

Quinton Wells

Quinton Wells is likely best known in pipedom for his active role with the Greater Kansas City Pipe Club (GKCPC), and his work with the American Carvers Pipe Making Competition, but he is also an accomplished pipe maker himself. While mostly self-taught, Quinton has had guidance from a number of notable pipe makers, including Lee von Erck, Michael Lindner, and Tonni Nielsen, as well as pipe restoration specialist, George Dibos. Quinton does not make many pipes per year, but when he makes pipes he pursues it with a passion and dedication that yield excellent results.
While under Quinton's leadership, the GKCPC started focusing on supporting, encouraging, and promoting American pipe makers. Since 2009 a big part of that effort has been the American Carvers Pipe Making Competition. Each year a theme is selected by the GKCPC and submissions solicited from American pipe makers. Three judges select seven pipes from those submitted to be included as part of the special 7 day set in a beautifully made case, which is then raffled off. The proceeds go to the carvers whose pipes were selected. The winning set, and so far the other pipes submitted, is then featured in an article appearing in Pipes and Tobaccos Magazine. Quinton's beautiful pipe was selected to be included in the 7 day set in 2011, when the theme was paneled pipes.

R. Quagliata Pipes

Quoted from Ryan Quagliata's website:
"My first memories of a pipe are of my great grandfather sitting in his over stuffed armchair reading the paper and smoking one of his many pipes, as I played at his feet. I think most pipe smokers have a similar memory or strong male influence that sparked the interest for them.
I started smoking a pipe about 9 years ago, and I love it. I’m positive it will continue to be a life long enjoyment of mine. The enjoyment I got from smoking a pipe in the beginning, led me to want to learn to make a pipe of my own. I thought it would be a challenge to make a pipe with my background in
cabinetry, machining, and jewelry making.
 
So I went to my local tobacco shop and bought a pre-bored block of what I now think, was Grecian briar and a vulcanite stem. That first pipe I made, made me hunger to learn more and perfect my pipes. I learned about Pipe Maker’s Emporium from the helpful people at Stag Tobacconists. They steered me toward the owner, Paul Hildebrand. Everyone there told me that Paul is a very nice man and he teaches a class on pipe making. Unfortunately, I was unable to afford the class. After going to his shop and getting advice numerous times, I found out that his former assistant that was repairing pipes
with him was no longer able to. I asked if I could repair pipes with him in exchange for the opportunity to learn to make pipes. Paul agreed and I began learning how pipes are properly engineered and how to utilize the tools in my shop for pipe making.
With the support of my loving wife, Paul, and Horace DeJarnett, I started buying block after block, trying to perfect my newfound craft. I have begun crafting my own stems from ebonite and Cumberland and using Delrin tenons. I also have my pipes laser engraved for a long lasting, clean appearance. I couldn’t have gotten as far as I have without their help. I have been motivated and inspired by the work of Jody Davis (J. Davis), and Jeff Gracik (J. Alan Pipes)."

R. Ubben Pipes
Period correct pipes for the Living Historian - Randolph J. Ubben about himself and R. Ubben Pipes:
"I started carving pipes as a hobby, and became enchanted not only with the craftsmanship of creating a good smoking pipe, but also the creativity involved in carving.
Having been a reenactor/living historian since 1974, I have been researching pipes and tobacciana of the period for my own edification, and to contribute, however humble, to our greater understanding of the material culture of the era we are captivated with.
The pipes I create are based upon the styles available during the 1860's as evidenced through photographic archives, reference works and personal visits to museums and private collections. Using Grecian plateau briar, vulcanite, various woods, and horn/bone, my pipes recreate the look of period pipes, and are crafted to provide a comfortable feel and a cool, dry smoke. All are hand finished individually using the same type tools available to a pipe-maker of the period, and depending upon the complexity of the design and carving, take from a few days to a few weeks to create.
Pipe bits are hand carved from rod stock, or turned down from wood or horn, as modern bits do not have the correct style air-hole for the period. To compliment period impressions of German immigrants, etc., my future offerings will include more mid-European styles."

RC Cellar Works Hand crafted custom tobacco pipe tampers are made in Des Moines, Iowa by Robert Carmell. Rob started life in Sothern California, and is now living in Des Moines. He enjoys the slower pace of the Midwest, where in addition to finding time to enjoy his family, and his pipes, he has also been developing the skills to make unique and beautifully designed hand crafted tampers. 
Rob writes the following:
In 2019 I relocated my family to the Midwest in Des Moines, Iowa and left Southern California for good. Our quality of life changed in every sense for the better, and with the stress load eliminated I was finally allowed to pursue my creative side without hindrance.
My tamper quest started one evening while smoking one of my beloved Castello pipes. My thoughts were why couldn’t a person enjoy using a beautiful tamper much like the pipe they were smoking. So I started formulating my plans, what materials to use, and designing an all in one shape that could be used not only as a tamper, but having the other end a useful shape to clean the bowl of a pipe.
After many prototypes and lessons learned from failing, the tampers began to take the shapes as seen now, and then the fun began. Creating one-off tampers is my goal. No two will ever be the same--they will be completely unique from one to the next.
I am a perfectionist by nature, some would say to a fault, but it drives me to produce the highest quality pieces I can and hopefully bring someone a glimmer of joy, much like they get from their favorite pipe.
"I have often admired artisan tampers in the collections of friends and those exhibited at pipe shows, but had not actually used one. That changed when I received two wonderful examples made by my friend, Rob. They're not only beautiful, they're a joy to use, working very much better than my old Czech tools, or the tampers I have made myself. They are now a treasured part of my collection, and have truly enhanced my pipe smoking experience." SEThile

RC Sands

RC "Chuck" Sands has been making pipes in what he calls "the old school way" since 1998. He spent several years learning from notable Columbus pipe maker Tim West, and almost immediately began making pipes with a simple goal: To make the best-smoking pipe he possibly can, and to offer them at a price within reach of the average pipe smoker. This led him to develop very particular methods of drilling and construction, and to spend the majority of his efforts on the mechanics of the pipe, leading to a highly refined process.
As a result, Chuck's pipes do not feature exotic materials or precious metals - only the best Grecian briar available, and hand-finished stems meant for comfort and durability. All of his pipes are made by hand, using shop-made tooling and machines. All stummels are made of the best Grecian briar available, and smooth pipes are finished exclusively by hand.
Chuck works out of a converted dairy barn in Pickerington, Ohio on the farm where he keeps his horses. Customers who have stopped in for in-person visits, usually to pick up commissions in person, are often surprised by the simplicity of his workshop. Chuck does not use a lathe or any type of pattern or guide for his pipes, choosing the shape of each piece by reading the grain of each block and working from there. The majority of shaping is done on a large homemade sanding wheel, with refinements done on smaller and softer wheels, and with smooth pipes being slowly tuned by days and sometimes weeks of hand sanding on his back porch. Sandblasts are done by feel and by eye, until they look and feel right based on their individual character.

ROSTIAK

ROSTIAK pipes are made by Joseph Rimbaud, who moved to the Jura in 2002, in order to make an unusual activity his job; pipe maker. After his BAC STI Génis Mécanique and a BTS CRS, he embarked on the creation of pipes as an autodidact and improved thanks to the invaluable advice of Pierre Morel, his (one) master in the matter. 
"But I am now doing my best to honor what he gave me, in the simple manner of a human, of a craftsman who loves the work done, and who sincerely wants to transmit what he mastery. ” 
He gets his supplies in the heart of the Jurassic region and in particular in Crozets where his workshop is located. As a good curious and creative craftsman, he also makes a wide range of objects; plates, boards, bowls, boxes ... 
== History with pipes ==
As you probably already know, every self-respecting smoker is naturally curious and observant.
So it was during my studies in La Rochelle that I got the idea of ​​smoking a pipe. It was primarily the practical side that appealed to me ...
Because, in winter, it's a real challenge to roll a cigarette on the seafront! The leaf flies away, we take another, then, it's the tobacco that mingles with the spray ... After a few packets of leaves and tobacco thus happily dispersed, we say to ourselves that an effort of adaptation is then necessary! !!
It is therefore the first qualities of the smoker which guided me towards the pipe. You have to put this in the context (in 1997/98) where the "buccaneers" were still in place ... by observing them, I saw them fill their pipes without incident (of course, the ignition must be mastered), the container and the contents held the road!
So this is how I got the idea of ​​buying my first bouffarde (I couldn't say the brand because I gave it to a friend 20 years ago…) When I decided to enter the store with my few francs in my pockets (there were no euros at the time ...)
My meager booty showed me a small curve "burns mouth" after so many dreams in front of models which were then completely "off budget" ...
My friends laughed at my purchase, but my little bouffarde was very busy and rather practical, moreover the tobacco that went with it was not afraid of humidity, once lit, all were satisfied with the taste and its effectiveness.
I was at the time in BAC STI Mechanical Engineering and all the creative ideas were jostling ...
And, by dint of all my friends coveting my skinny bouffarde, I decided to make one for a friend, then another, in a self-taught way (with boxwood, it was a little gross, but once cheeky ...) It was a challenge to DIY a new one on the weekends to test the week with friends. And it's quite funny to see some of them that I forgot, which are still with friends nowadays!

RX Pipes

RX Pipes are made by Radek Jůza
 
Radek has been working on pipe production and more active pipe work since 2011, but his pipe history starts from his younger years when he was influenced by his dad who smoked his Old River and a few other pipes, and it smelled so good to him. As a child, he cleaned the pipes nicely, scraping the bowls and cleaning the mouthpieces. He eventually inherited these pipes, and a few of them are in his regular rotation.
His pipe smoking was sporadic at first, once a month, and sometimes he did not enjoy it at all. He later become more interested in cigars. Then, when he reached his forties, he found his way back to the pipe and became a member of the pipe community at http://www.dymka.net where he met a number of wonderful people. It was through this community that he became interested in pipe making. On 26-2-2011, at the workshop organized for members of dymka.net he made my first pipe. With enormous help from pipemaker Honza Klouček.
Today, Radek has produced more than 500 pipes. His logo is RX pipes. In addition to his logo, he stamps the serial number and the month and year of manufacture. In addition to producing pipes, Radek is also a passionate pipe collector and restorer. His favorites are sandblasts, especially Dunhill´s patents.
