Astley's

Astley's was both a brand and name of a famous London tobacconist. The first shop was founded in 1862 and was located at 109 Jermyn Street, just down the road from the Charatan's shop. They sold meerschaum pipes and later classic pipe shaped briar pipes. The owner of this shop was Mr. Paul Bentley whose family owned and ran the shop since the 1930's. The shop closed some time ago, and the name of the brand was bought by Mordechai (Moty) Ezrati, who also owns the James Upshall pipe brand.
Astley's served as an extremely exclusive and renowned shopping outlet for outstanding pipes for the British royalty and London gentry alike. Visitors to London sought out this shop as a 'must visit' during their stay. Although they never made their own pipes, the Astley branded pipe was made on contract by Charatan (until the 1980's), James Upshall, Dunhill, L&JS, and Bill Taylor of Ashton pipes. Some sources (The Piperack for instance) say that Comoy's and GBD had also made pipes for Astley's. The shop always commanded extremely high prices for their much sought after specimens.
After Charatan had changed hands and was sold to Herman Lane Limited in the United States, Astley's continued with their high grade pipe sales by presenting some of the best examples of British pipe manufacturing to pipe connoisseurs around the world.
Stamping: Astley's, 109 Jermyn St, London (before, Wm Astley & Company, 109 Jermyn St S.W. London).

Atwood

Atwood pipes were apparently made for, or in collaboration with Atwood M. Tempe by Comoy, and perhaps other pipe manufactureres.
Todd Platek reports:
I own the Atwood pipe shown in Valitchka’s reprint of Atwood’s patent drawing. The patent number in the reprint matches the patent number on my Atwood pipe, and the shape appears identical. Additionally, the pipe bears the stamp “53 [large] 2 [small]”, likely indicating the second pipe he made in 1953. The Atwood name is prominently displayed in script. The stem bears an “A” in script.

Al Jones has written an article outlining the restoration of an Atwood pipe on [Rebornpipes.com] where he writes:
The Atwood pipes were equipped with a permanent aluminum cup at the base of the chamber, with a bore hole. Atwood M. Tempe (Los Angeles) invented the system about 1950. The patent (U.S. PAT. 2652062) was granted in 1953 and the author partnered with Comoy’s to produce the pipes...

Au Pache (Au Pacha)

Mistakenly referred to in multiple works as the name of a French meerschaum carver, Au Pache is actually a misspelling of Au Pacha de Nancy, a tobacconist founded in that French city long ago and still active. They are currently located at 11 Rue St. Dizier in Nancy.
However, this is not the same "Au Pacha" famous for meerschaum in the mid 19th century and referred to by Jose Manuel Lopés below. Au Pacha was a name used by tobacconists in many French towns, and even in Geneva, Switzerland, but the "Au Pacha" known for meerschaum was located in Paris, on the Place de la Bourse. The atelier was founded in 1854 by Monsieur Lenouvel, in turn succeeded by Desbois & Weber, later to become Desbois & Cheville in 1887 and then Cheville in 1895. Finally taken over by Somer in 1900. The firm offered meerschaum pipes in many styles, including classic shapes with custom monograms and figural pipes of skulls, elephants, and many other traditional shapes. As Lopés points out below, however, their greatest fame came from the pipe "Diana on the Hunt", shown here.
From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by Jose Manuel Lopés'
Famous French Meerschaum pipe carver, who lived in Nancy during the 19th century. His pieces are on show at museums, notably the Museum of Tobacco Art and History, in Nashville, TN (USA), where there is a pipe depicting the Roman goddess, Diana, mounted on a rearing steed, and which took Au Pache 15 years to carve (from 1854 to 1869). This pipe was to have been presented to the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph by Napolian III, but with the outbreak of the Franco-War, in 1870, the piece remained in France until 1945, when it was bought by an North American Soldier.

Awat Handcrafts

When you hear the name of Iran(Persia), the first thing you know about it is carpet and handcrafts. I think Iran makes best quality of carpets and handcrafts.
 Today we have Awat Handcrafts' pipe which is produced by hand totally. instagram AWATPIPE
The production, which is always careful and perfect, has continued in a traditional way for a decade, finishing every piece by hand. The secret of their manufacture, if we may put in this way, is the respect for the traditions with the experience acquired in several years of successful work, which could be summed up in two words: High Quality

Axel Glasner

Axel Glasner was born in Trier, Germany. He currently resides in the area with his family on an old farm, and has done for the last 30 years.Biographical information for this article was provided by Mr Glasner via email. The remainder of the article was written as a commentary on Mr Glasner's work,
At the beginning of the 1990s, Glasner studied in Cologne, where he met Peter Heinrichs, an expert in pipes and tobacco, and then-owner of the German tobacconist store of the same name. Heinrichs was the first to encourage Glasner to make his own pipes.
Glasner was not in contact with any other pipe makers, however, meaning he had to teach himself the craft of pipe making. Despite not having any direct tutelage from other pipe makers, Glasner says that he was inspired by certain of them. His primary inspirations in his approach to pipe making were the Danish masters Poul Ilsted and Jens ‘Tao’ Nielsen.
This Svendborgian influence on Glasner’s pipes is evident in his work. Glasner pipes continue to explore motifs made famous by Ilsted and Tao, such as the parabolic curves and the faceting favoured by the former, or the stubbiness and the juxtaposition of straight and round lines that are signatures of the latter. 
 
When it comes to making a pipe, Glasner considers it very important that he has a desired shape in mind and that this shape is realised precisely. ‘Precision’ is certainly a fitting word to describe Glasner’s pipes, whose geometrical figures and meticulous symmetry could easily be mistaken for the work of industrial machinery.
Glasner pipes have been sold by retailers such as Peter Heinrichs and Scandpipes. A prominent figure in the contemporary German pipe making scene, Glasner is one of the teachers Dirk Heinemann credits for inducting him into the craft.

B&B

B&B is a brand of Artur Bednarczyk & Mariusz Bednarczyk, manufactures pipes and cigarillos made of briar and pear, as well as other trees and shrubs. In the production process, most of the operations are carried out manually, as a result of which every pipe has its own specific character. B&B's pipes are traditionally made using natural wood stains and waxes.
The company has been operating since 1996 and its headquarters are located near the city of Przemysl, the capital of the Polish pipe. This is where the best products of the pipe industry have been manufactured for decades. Our company has identified itself with the tradition of pipe making in Przemysl for about 100 years, which was initiated by Wincenty Swoboda.

B.O.B.

BROTHERHOOD OF THE BRIAR, Bob Hinton
When Bob Hinton started buying and selling pipes over the internet he was only following on from a near lifetime of pipe smoking. His first pipe was a Hardcastle reject bought for fifteen shillings – 75p- in 1967 when he was serving in the Royal Navy. He still has and smokes that pipe today thus proving the worth of ‘Rejects’.
After a while though it became obvious that many of the pipes today – other than colossally expensive freehand creations which he believes are more for looking at rather than smoking- conform to the same rigid styles. When he met master wood carver John Blake an idea was formed.
Sourcing some beautiful briar from Greece he turned them over to John to turn into pipes. They were both surprised when John took to the task like a duck to water. John immediately recognized the superior quality of the briar and the forms and shapes evolved naturally. Because each pipe is made completely individual no two are alike – a true heirloom in waiting. The very first pipe was only on the internet for 20 minutes when it was snapped up.
It was noticed that some manufacturers do anything they can to disguise flaws, staining, roughing up or filling with putty. However Bob and John have an entirely different outlook on these minor flaws. Bob explains that because briar is a natural material there will inevitably be the occasional minor blemish, but rather than try and hide this fact they leave them as they are, becoming part of the finish and character of the pipe. Each pipe is marked with their logo, a rampant lion next to the initials B.O.B and the legend ‘Hand Made in Wales’
Their pipes are priced so that anyone can afford a handmade pipe that they can smoke – instead of paying so much for one they are locked away in a vault somewhere.
The name of the brand B.O.B. is not taken from Bob Hinton but rather it is an acronym for Brotherhood of the Briar. When Bob started selling pipes he enrolled all his customers in the Brotherhood presenting each one with a handsome certificate, and posting photos of them smoking the pipes they had bought on his blog. He now has members in practically every country. 
A unique point about B.O.B is that it is believed to be the very first pipemaker from Wales.

B.P.L.

B.P.L., which stood for Briar Pipes Limited, was a Dublin company selling pipes primarily in airport duty free shops in the 1970s and 1980s, including a line stamped "Shannon Airport". Because Peterson had a line of "Shannon" pipes also sold at the airport carrying the name "Shannon", this brand is often suspected to be a subbrand of that company. There is no evidence, however, supporting such a claim, and Briar Pipes Limited appears to be a wholly separate company. Among other lines, B.P.L. sold a Kilarney pipe.

BBJ piber

Børge Blume-Jensen, the man behind BBJ piber, started making pipes in 1996. He lives in the countryside in the south of Sealand, where he also has his workshop. Due to his full time work as headmaster of the Art School in Ringsted, he has very little time for making pipes. His current production is 40 to 50 pipes a year. His pipes are all handmade, using the best materials available to him.
The following submission is courtesy of Poul Rasmussen of DanishEstatePipes.com
BBJ (Børge Blume-Jensen)right|caption="BBJ Logo"
 
thumb|left|Borge Blume-Jensenthumb|A wonderful display of Bridseyethumb|A classical shape with nive Straight Grain enhanced by the contrasting stainthumb|A nice olivewoodMy name is Børge Blume-Jensen, I'’m 63 years old (2018) and I live in the countryside in the southern part of Zealand.
In the early 80’s I finished an education as a jeweler, and up until 1992 I also operated my own business in addition to my regular job. I just retired from a position as Principal at a Music and Culture School, so now I can dedicate my time to pipe making. 
 
I made my first pipe back when I was 15 years old. In my hometown (Sorø) there was a pipe factory, - Brakner Pipes, and from there I bought a pre-drilled briar block “hobby pipe”. I managed to carve a functional pipe, - but pretty it was not…..
 
In 1996 the desire to carve pipes returned, and I frequented a local pipe maker who gave me valuable guidance. I was hooked, - briar blocks and stems were acquired from the Stanwell factory in Borup, and most of my free time was spent carving pipes in my workshop. Later I received valuable guidance and criticism from well-known pipe makers such as Jess Chonowitsch, Kjeld Sørensen (Red Hat) and Tom Eltang. 
 
My annual production is between 80 and 100 pipes. The preferred material is briar, but I also use olive wood. Most pipes have a smooth finish; I believe the natural grain enhanced with a contrasting stain brings life and “soul” to the pipe. 
Pipes with minor flaws and mixed grain are sandblasted or rusticated. 
 
Most pipes are executed in classical shapes, but I attempt to give them my personal “touch”. For stems I prefer ebonite, but acrylic stems are used from time to time.
 
The pipes are stamped with BBJ and my logo, and the grading I use is; A, B and C, where A is for flawless pipes with a beautiful grain. 
 
My goal is to continuously improve my skills to develop the best shapes and finishes the briar allows for. The greatest pleasure from pipe making is the process of creation….

BPK

A long tradition of producing pipes. BPK company exports pipes to more than 40 countries. The production of pipes has been traditionally connected with small town Prosec u Skutce since 1842. Prosec is situated in the heart of Czech Republic, approximately 150 km (93 miles) far from Prague. Since the change of political situation in 1989 the company BPK, Ltd has been continueing in the traditional production.
BP Jum

BP JUM pipes history is a bit of a mystery. They have a design that is reminiscent of Custombilt pipes, and speculation that they were made by Tracy Mincer. However, there is no direct correlation found, though some circuitous connection is possible. One possibility is they are made by Biltmore pipes, as part of their Jumbo line, thus the abbreviated naming Biltmore Pipes Jumbo was rendered BP JUM. This is just speculation, but I am including an ad for the "Biltmore" Jumbo pipe, and in the background you can see a pipe design that is very similar to the BP JUM.

Bacigalupi

Marco Bacigalupi is very creative. He models his materials with the same skill with which, for sixty years, he has been shaping the circumstances of his life. 
Born in Liguria, as is the best briar, he makes his creations by hand and has gotten to know the passion for the art of smoking a pipe when his father gave him one. 
Marco was twenty years old then and has since continued to smoke it because, as he likes to say, whispering behind his mustache: a pipe is a work of art, beautiful to look at, caressing to smoke. 
Since 1983 Marco Bacigalupi makes pipes that for his own use and shares them with a limited number of friends. 
The softness of the days spent away from the city noises, finally persuaded him to make known and to share his creations with a wider audience. In his small workshop, from which he dominates the valleys and forests of the Ligurian hinterland, Marco creates each unique pipe using aged briar from Triora, a drill and a grinding wheel for the final polishing. Everything else is passion!

David provides a non binding price preannouncement and will send a drawing in real size.
He has learned his craft from Franz von Matt in Switzerland, Rainer Barbi in Germany & Josef Prammer in Austria. 
Why does he carve pipes?
He is fascinated by the archaic shapes of tobacco pipes which are one of the oldest sculptures of human beings. And he likes the simplicity and complexity at the same time, which all good pipes have in common.
His workshop is situated near the Lake Traunsee in the Salzkammergut region. David carves between 100 and 120 tobacco pipes each year by hand from briar root (erica arborea).
