Shalom Pipe Factory

Not much is known about Israel's sole pipe factory though it's reported to have operated quite successfully on international markets.
Beside the brand "Shalom" the mainstay brand was Alpha - especially well known in the USA. Alpha was popular for a range of fresh and unusual shapes. Series (afaik): Caprice (s), Citation (s), Classic (b), Pedestal (s), Regent, Region (b), Rex (s). (1)
(1) (b) = blasted, (s) = smooth
Alpha also produced at least one of its Citation forms for Carey's "Magic Inch" series.
Mentioned in context with Shalom Pipe Factory was a Danish pipemaker named 'Muki Liebermann', who later lived and worked in the USA.
Muki is known for his unique briar bending technique and his original shapes that gave inspiration to many of the most praised Danish pipemakers.
Shalom was taken over by Robert L. Marx of New York City, later Sparta, NC, then of Mastercraft. Mastercraft continued the Alpha pipes introducing new lines.

Shalosky Pipes

Bill Shalosky got his start working in the Smokers' Haven Workshop doing minor pipe repairs & restorations, and also made the Smokers' Haven Hand-Mades, Buckeye Pipes, & Chheda Pipes along with Premal Chheda. He is also producing his own line of pipes under the Shalosky name. These fine pipes are made from the finest cured briar, and Bill hand cuts each stem from top grade German Ebonite. 
In the Spring of 2015 Bill started working with Todd Johnson and Pete Prevost (Prevost Pipes) at Briarworks.
Bill has a background in Fine Arts, and is an experienced Bowl Turner. He is a graduate of the Columbus College of Arts & Design, and a native of Columbus, Ohio since birth. Bill is also an experienced pipe smoker & collector. His tastes range from a variety of shapes and styles, and his production has influences of many pipe makers and his own artistic designs from his studies. The most impressive aspect of his pipes, is the detail in craftsmanship. The drilling and connections are perfect, and his stems are cut very thin and comfortable.

Shaping on a Lathe

The basis for the following article was written by Tyler Lane for his website, and is used by permission.
Turning briar on a wood lathe is a very fun process. Manipulating the chisel into the fast spinning wood, and watching and feeling the pipe take shape is wonderful. The process is very much like clay on a potters wheel. As the roughly shaped block spins, order seems to magically emerge from chaos as an asymmetrical block takes the form of a smooth cylinder. The pipe is being freed from the rugged shell it has been imprisoned in for many decades.
Turning with a wood lathe is a skill that must be acquired and honed. For this page, I will assume for my comments that the reader has minimal turning experience, but some knowledge of turning vocabulary.
Let me pause here, before we get into the how-to's of turning, and say that tools are VERY important. A good lathe, a very good chuck, and sharp chisels are key aspects of success. Because the briar block will be turned off balance essentially every time, the heavier your lathe, the better. A heavy lathe will allow you to stably turn the out-of-balance block at a high rpm, and higher rpm makes cleaner, nicer cuts. Likewise an excellent chuck allows for higher rpm's while remaining safe. Thrilling as it may be, it is not a lot of fun to have briar flying out of a chuck at 1400 rpm! Lastly sharp chisels allow for cleaner, smoother cuts. When it all comes together, turning the briar can be like carving butter. (Actually, carving butter doesn't sound all that pleasant...maybe it is more like carving soap. )
VIDEO:
Here is a video of the turning of a bowl on the lathe. Unfortunately, this particular pipe was not a perfect shape for illustrating bowl turning. It is the turning of a hawkbill, and the shank shape minimizes the amount of the bowl that can be turned. I intend to video the next bowl that I turn and replace this one. In the meantime, this will give you an idea of the process.

Shaping with a Sanding Disc

The basis for the following article was written by Tyler Lane for his website, and is used by permission.
On the sanding disc is where the pipe truly begins to take shape. Until this point, one has simple taken a block of briar and turned it into a block of briar with holes. This stage, the stage of shaping, is the fun, hands-on portion of bringing alive the design the pipe maker has in mind.
Really, as far as the technicalities of using a sanding disc, there is not much to say. It is really rather intuitive. I chuck my sanding discs up in the headstock of my lathe, and this provides the luxury of being able to vary the rpm of the disc. In addition to varying the rpm of the discs, I use three different grit sand discs, 80, 180, and 400. I use the coarse grit at high speeds to the initial rough shaping, and I slow the lathe down as I get closer and closer to the final shape. Typically I will start with the lathe at 3700 rpm with the 80 grit, then move to about 1800 rpm with the 80 grit, then change to the 180 grit, then change to the 400 grit, then slow all the way down to 500 rpm with the 400 grit as the final step. This progression is not always identical, but this is close to what I typically do.
I have noticed that most makers work with facing the front of the wheel. I, of necessity since I am using my lathe, stand to the side of the wheel. I haven't tried facing the front of the wheel yet, but it actually looks more difficult. I looks like you cannot actually see the spot on the stummel that is actually touching the disc. By standing to the side it is quite easy to see the removal of the wood by the disc, and gives my nice control over what I am doing.
Since this is a process that escapes ready description, here is a video of me at work at the sanding disc: (Warning: This is a VERY large video (~14MB), and perhaps overly redundant. Please let me know if you think it is unneccesarily long.)

Shaydullin

My name is Fidel Shaydullin.
By the standards of the famous pipe carvers, I am still quite a teenager, since today I have made only about 250 pipes. The reason can only be the fact that this occupation is only a hobby for me, and not a means of earning. But I take this hobby very seriously. Making the pipe, special attention is paid to internal engineering, since the pipe itself is an important tool for the tobacco lover. The pipe cleaner should be able to skip the tube from the stem button to the bottom of the tobacco chamber without disassembling.
I enjoy working with Greek and Algerian briar, as well as with bog oak. When making mouthpieces, I use German and Japanese vulcanite and cumberland.

Shekita

Konstantin Shekita is not only but one of the first Ukrainian pipemakers. A young Shekita started his career in tobacco industry at Kiev factory Golden Gate in the nineties. First he polished pipe mouthpieces; however he started soon to create smoking pipes from their design to manufacture. The factory manufactured wooden furniture as well, so he has enough raw materials for his first pipes.
The first briar pipes Shekita made of briar supplied from Albania, where it grew near to the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Selected old briar was exported to Ukraine for smoking pipe manufacture. Shekita soon started to work individually, however continuing his cooperation with Golden Gate. Shekita pipes are successfully sold in the CIS and in Europe. During 17 years the master made over five hundred of exclusive smoking pipes. Not all of them are available. Shekita is known to leave his pipes for own collection.
After several years of work in tobacco field, Shekita decided to try own skills at the competition on making of smoking pipes in "billiards" shape, where he was the second. Later at the Kiev slow-smoking competition, the winners were awarded with Shekita pipes. The slow-smoking championship is a kind of new entertainment, first time it was held in Denmark in 1991.
Also Konstantin Shekita attended different competitions on briar smoking pipes manufacture, such as in Przemysl, Poland, in 2007, the World Cup in Russia, in 2007, and the international competition in Chicago, in 2008.
The former sportsman and popular stuntman who took part in known action and adventure movies, he has recently started to smoke a pipe, as he said to understand pipesmokers’ feelings.
Our online smoking pipe shop is proud to offer our customers to buy Shekita pipes and see that Ukrainian briar pipes are deservedly popular in Europe.

Shellcraft

The Drinkless Shellcraft, made by Reiss-Premier Co., is a unique pipe, very collectible to those who relish the early Kaywoodie and pre-Kaywoodie offerings. This pipe had a large, non-threaded fitment. The white logo on the bit was shaped like the Kaywoodie fitment. Some had KB&B leaf on the shank. Right before Kaywoodies started coming out with their “Drinkless” (stinger) innovation on their Kaywoodie line, this pipe was offered as “The Drinkless, Shellcraft.” The Synchro-stem (screw fitment) was introduced in 1929, and the pipes of the 1924-29 era were standard mortise & tenon (push tenon) design.
As you see the “Shellcraft” finish is all hand carved, I think to battle directly with the Dunhill Shell finish. And these pipes were, and remain, on par with the Dunhill’s of their day, plus a lot rarer than Dunhill’s, but still undervalued in the market.
An interesting thing is that the Shellcraft finish has been recently resurrected after many years, for Gray Fox. However, the new version of the finish is a deep blast, and the original is a hand-carved meticulous design, reminiscent of the hand carved finish early Sasieni Rustic shows to emulate the grain brought our by sandblasting in the Dunhill Shell.

Shepherd Brothers

Shepherd Brothers Pipe Co. began with brothers Darren and Greg Shepherd. After collecting and smoking pipes for years, they decided to try their hand at making pipes. They drew inspiration from other Virginia pipe makers, such as John Hines (John Hines Pipes) and Jonathan Lavezzo (Moonshine Pipes), as well as famed makers such as Poul Winslow and Mark Tinsky. After obsessing over the craft and honing their skills, the Shepherd brothers quickly developed a following. They used Facebook as their primary marketing tool and began selling their pipes over the Internet to pipe smokers and collectors all over the world. 
All Shepherd Bros. pipes are carved one at a time and are unique. The brothers have developed a system of carving that highlights the skills and abilities that they possess individually: Greg does the majority of the drilling to the raw briar blocks while Darren shapes and finishes them into beautiful works of art. The brothers quickly "carved" a niche in the local retail markets as well, supplying high-quality handmade pipes to local smoke shops in southwestern Virginia. Their goal is to provide smokers and collectors with high-quality handmade pipes at a reasonable and affordable price. 
Shepherd Bros. pipes made in 2014 and 2015 have a hand-carved mark on the bottom of the shank that reads, "SBPC '15". They use many different types of exotic woods to add stem accents, and use Delrin tenons exclusively. Their shapes and finishes are often inspired by the Blue Ridge Mountains where they live, and they strive to put the spirit of this wonderful area into each and every pipe that they craft. Their Appalachian Sunrise and Black Rock series pipes have received rave reviews from smokers everywhere. Plans of expanding their market into more collectible pieces are now in the works, and their Prestige series will be released in the winter of 2015-2016.

Shigeyoshi Yanagihara

1944 Born native of Tokyo Setagaya. After graduating from university, work as an illustrators and photographers.
His briar crafting journey began when he was fascinated to a point of shock to when he encounter pipes made by Sixten Ivarsson and Jørn Micke. He decide to make his own and seek teaching from Hiroyuki Tokutomi, in which he learned the technical aspect from.
That was what started his 30 years career. From 1975 to 2005. Turning out 1500 handmade pipes in total.
His design style draws from organic shapes in nature. Although taking roots from Danish pipes, his execution and detail is Japanese. It is almost like seeing Japanese interpretation of Danish style. In particular, proportion and size, which can be quite compact, although he made lots of larger size pipe as well. 
He enjoys tea ceremony, Road Racer bicycle, classic car, and what goes on top of all that is English Mixture tobacco.
He made lifelong friendship with Jørn Micke, which comes to Japan almost every year. In community, he has a student and friend, Tatsuo Tajima, a bohemian 2nd generation Japanese pipemaker. 
Yanagihara san is now 70 years old (as of 2014) but his movement is light, swift, and energetic as if a 45 years old person. Is it because of the tea or English Mixture? I'd like to think it is the later. Now, retired by profession but he makes 1-3 pipes a year. "Just for fun." says Yanagihara san.
Currently he resides in Tokyo and actively riding bicycle.

ShureWood Pipes

ShureWood pipes are Made by Colin Rigsby. 
The following is from Colin's website:
Born in 1971, I was raised in an atmosphere of things artistic. It was ingrained in me at an early age that sometimes the best things in life come from taking the path least traveled (and in turn usually provides the most resistance). Pipes and cigars were staple items for Dad, and these provided the foundation of things to come.
 
Over the next years I went to college, played in 2 bands for several years each, played a ridiculous amount of gigs, recorded an album, dabbled in painting and the culinary arts and then ended up in the printing business. Over the hills and trough the woods.... Then I married a wonderful woman and now have a fantastic boy. Ok, so what does this have to do with pipes you ask? Everything. The road of hard knocks is what lead me back to the wonderful world of pipes and thus made it all complete. An artist draws from their life’s work - I have quite a bit to draw from.
I feel pipes are meant to be smoking instruments, first and foremost. They then become the smoker’s friend, if they pass the test of time. The pipes that are simple are just as exciting as the ones that are elaborate. This is the point at which they become a work of art. The smoker begins to understand better the workings of the pipe and the subtleties of the design and execution. Yes - the flaws nature made are part of this art. It is makes each piece unique and special to the person who owns them and cherishes them. NO pipe is perfect and no man is either, so this relationship is indeed as perfect as it can get.
I am not only a student of pipe making, but am a active collector of classic pipes, pipe related tobacciana and I absorb myself in pipe history. I feel that studying and enjoying other craftsmen’s work only improves and broadens my experience and knowledge. I also strive to try every pipe tobacco I can get my hands on. I started and am president of “The Briar Club”, a pipe smokers club at a local DFW, Texas tobacconist shop. One of these days I would love to open my own brick and mortar pipe/tobacconist shop, where pipe artisans can have a great place to show their wares and providing the pipe world with another real place where history can savored while promoting the future of the great pastime of pipe smoking. Only time (and government intervention) will dictate if I am able to achieve this or not... Until then I will do my best to provide quality pipes and service for a reasonable price.

Sillem's

Sillem's is most likely the oldest brand name connected with tobacco, in that the name has roots as far back as the Hanse traders who settled in Hamburg in the 16th century. By 1816 the name was attached to Sillem's Bazaar, the first enclosed shopping mall in the world.
Sillem's is now a brand owned by Torsten Steiffert, through Seiffert & Sohn GmbH and Sillem's Design, both of which are in Kassel, Germany. They trademarked the Sillem's name in 1995. Sillem's continues to manufacture pipes and tobacco, but also makes a wide array of smoker's accessories, silver goods, household items and the like.
