La Bruyère

S.A. La Bruyère was established in Paris in 1908, and in the following two years acquired premises in Saint-Claude on the rue Saint Blaise. In 1921 they expanded the factory to the other side of the street, and continued to expand through 1932, when they purchased and absorbed the Chapuis-Comoy brand and took over its factory. In 1957, as a result of the success of Chacom, La Bruyère revived the name and became Chapuis-Comoy & Cie. One of the former La Bruyère facilities is still in operation under that name, not as a pipe shop, but as a restaurant.

La Pipa

La Pipa
After going through several educations and occupations and spending several years as a travelling craftsman, Stefan Capaul settled down in Disla, a hamlet belonging to the community of Disentis the uplands of Grisons.
In search of a compensatory occupation to his steady job he wanted to work something with his hands; beautiful, not everyday like and yet useful. So he finally got the idea to make pipes starting around 1999 / 2000 with a rudimental equipment of hand tools.
What was originally ment rather as a waste of time in periods of nasty weather and the long Swiss winters soon turned into a real passion.

La Radica

La Radica pipes are made by Natale Novello. He writes the following:
I am of Sicilian origin. Since 1997 I have lived in France in the region of Yvelines. I started getting interested in pipes in 2019 by doing repairs. In 2021 I started making pipes of my own. My teachers are Pascal Piazzolla, Vilma Armellini, and Mario Pascucci. I spent a week with each of them to improve my skills and learn some tips. My style is a mix of classic and creative. I use heather (Briar) from Tuscany and Calabria, and I use ebonite, acrylic, and Cumberland for the stems. 90% of my pipes are handmade. On average it takes me three days to make a pipe, or even more sometimes, because I take a little time to think.
All my personal pipes have my logo and the "FM" stamp. (Handmade). Generally my pipes are named after feminine names.

La Torre

La Torre pipes were made by Ernesto Ossola, a pipemaker about the 1970s.
Mr. Ernesto Ossola was a craftsman that made pipes with his "La Torre" logo until his death in 2010.
Italian pipe blogger, Gusto Tobacco, did some fairly detailed original research into Ernesto Ossola and La Torre pipes, which is available here: Ernesto Ossola's tower: a story to remember. This is the Google translation, which leaves a bit to be desired, but it's readable.
Contributors, it would be great to expand our article here on Pipedia based on this research. Please feel free to dive in and do that if you are interested.

labuenapipa.com website shows the pipes created by Luis Wiesenthal. Born in 1951, since childhood felt a great attraction to the world of pipes. Although his professional steps soon brought him to the path of entrepreneurship in the wine cellars of Jerez, always he maintained his artistic interests that developed when his time permitted, in the field of oil and watercolor painting.A few years ago he decided to equip a small workshop to design and manufacture their own handmade pipes. What at first was just a hobby was becoming over time in an activity that provides a complete dedication.
His pipes are free designed while maintaining their personal cult to classic pipes. "It's not just providing a nice aesthetic result because the pipe is not mere artistic object but must also be functional. The dimensions of the air vents, stove, type and finishing of the wood ... everything has a decisive influence on the goal of the pipe to become a good companion. There are beautiful but unsmokable pipes that fail to seduce me and good smoking pipes quite horrific who would not be able to conquer me either. Achieving both virtues at the same time is the ultimate goal of a good pipecrafter" 
His pipemasters of reference are the Danish ones, often combining creative freedom without abandoning the classical canons, and above all, completing their work with superb finishes. He confesses his devotion to the work of Tom Eltang. "His mastery in golden contrast and his finishing are exceptional" 
Luis Wiesenthal personally selects and cures his briar to ensure the desired quality and the optimal time of processing. Sometimes he also uses olive protuberance wood. "Its aroma reminds me of the smell of wine barrels, of which I have lived so long" 
Adapting to new circumstances and preferences of some customers, he also work on electronic pipes also developing high quality pieces respecting the traditional methods of manufacturing conventional pipes. "Developing electronic pipes may be shocking to some orthodox people, but it is a way to provide some former pipe smokers, who have been forced to abandon the tobacco habit, the satisfaction of maintaining contact and company of that magical object as is the pipe".

Lacroix

Lacroix Pipes have a rich history of pipe making tradition and the brand was started in 1962. Eugine Lacroix began making pipes for the Delacour factory in the 19th century; his sons founded their own factory in 1921. 
Two of the grandsons (including Jean) continued on in the business, but parted ways and struck out on their own in 1962. At that time, Jean set up Jean Lacroix pipes, coincidentally in the old Delacour building his grandfather started in 85 years prior. Today, Jean Lacroix, Chacom, Jeantet, and Vuillard are all pieces of the larger Cuty-Fort Enterprises, and Jean is actively involved with the prestigious Confrérie des maîtres-pipiers de Saint-Claude. Jean still makes pipes; his spectacular freehands are known throughout the world. The model named "Nizza" De Luxe is made by him with scripted stamp showing his name (hard to read!). Jean Lacroix sometimes marked Maitre Pipier a Saint-Claude.

Lakatosh

John Lakatosh was a carver from New Columbia, Pennsylvania.
He made pipes in his home workshop in the Susquehana Valley up above Sunbury. John made pipes during the week and sold most of them at craft fairs in Central and Southern Pennsylvania. He retired from carving, to go back to bus mechanic work after the tobacco industry took a decline. He now lives with his wife in Lewisburg Pennsylvania, where he now crafts furniture for family and friends. He recently passed on March 8th 2018. (Primary/Familial Source)

Lane, Ltd.

Lane began in Dresden, Germany in 1890 selling tobacco, and began its life in American in 1938 when Herman G. Lane, a grandson of the founder, emigrated to America and restarted the Lane brand in Manhattan, New York. Lane, Limited was located at 25 Beekman Street, New York City from that time until 1983, when the company was moved in its entirety to Tucker, Georgia where it is currently located. Lane boasts that, despite many sales and transfers, there are Tucker, Georgia employees who started at the original Manhattan plant.
Lane is currently owned, as of March, 2011 by Scandinavian Tobacco Group of Copenhagen, Denmark. Prior to that date they were a subsidiary of Reynolds American, Inc.. Lane continues to be the bedrock of the tobacco industry. They have also, however, had an influence on the sale of smoking pipes since their U.S. creation, importing leading pipe brands such as Dunhill, Charatan and many others. Charatan even produced a pipe called the "Crown Achievement" for sale by Lane.
In addition, Lane Limited owned the Dr. Grabow company from 1992 until approximately 2005. Lane continues to be a major player in the U.S. pipe market and elsewhere, acting on their own and as part of the Dunhill group distributing pipes by a great many makers.
*An interesting read if you can find a copy (it is long out of print) is "Leaves from a Tobaccoman's Log", Based on a Series of Interviews with Herman G. Lane, President, Lane Ltd., by Raymond L. Schnitzer. We hope to have it in PDF here on Pipedia at some point.

Lanier

Note: Paul Lanier, born in 1932 passed on from this world on June 11th, 2015. He leaves a large body of beautiful work for us to enjoy and remember him by. See a wonderful article on the Tobacco Pipe Artistry blog.
From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes'
Paul Lanier' is the brand of the French artisan and master of sculpted pipes, and one of the best artists in the field. Piratically retired, every uear he makes a pipe with the effigy of the "French Smoker of the Year", elected by the Confrérie des maîtres-pipiers de Saint-Claude, a piece which usually takes about three weeks to produce.
Independent since the 1980s, he previously worked for Butz-Choquin. Paul was awarded the title of "Meuilleur Ouvrier de France' in 1991 and 1994, and his most accomplished works are on show at the Saint-Claude Pipe and Diamond Muuseum. He also sculpts based on customer designs. Paul uses ebonite, acrylic, and horn stems.
From site Ad Hoc Pipe
Paul Lanier is one of the carvers of pipe of Saint-Claude. As his colleagues, he is pursuing the tradition of pipe carving of Saint-Claude. Paul has carved a lot of pipes and he realizes every year the portrait of the First Pipe Smoker of France. You can appreciate his talent through his realizations, which for many of them are presented in the Pipe and Diamond Museum of Saint-Claude.

Lanzola

Founded by Gianluca Lanzola signed in 2011 in Parma, where they are handcrafted using Calabrian briar aged about 9 years.
File:IMG_5393.JPG File:IMG_9743.JPG
The passion for pipes is a family tradition, since 1937, when my grandfather Mario Lanzola opened the tobacco shop in Parma, followed by my father Norberto and last me (Gian Luca); but the real passion for pipes was born when I first walked into the Castello factory, I was about 10 years old and followed my father to pipe purchases. I fell in love with those pieces of rough wood, which, under the expert hands of the artisans, became pipes; I tried it too and at the age of 11 I made my first "almost" pipe. Today, after taking my degree in Geology, I make pipes while having fun.

Larsen, Jørgen

"I am only interested in making pipes that satisfy customers" - Jørgen Larsen, May, 2004
'''
Jørgen Larsen worked for Stanwell from 1965 until 1969, and started making his own line of pipes in 1970. He also made pipes for Peter Stokkebye for about 25 years. Concurrent with his pipe making, Jørgen was also employed as an officer in an Arrest (jail) for 24 hours a week.
An allergy to briar dust has been an ongoing problem during Larsen's pipe making carrier and likely contributed to his decision to sell his pipe making factory in 2005. As of May, 2015 he is 73 years old and no longer making pipes. He and his wife are enjoying life, however, and live throughout the summer months in their home on the Island of Fyn.
Jørgen Larsen lives in a village of 600 people, Almind, Denmark - about 5 miles from Kolding, home of another famous Danish pipe maker, Kurt Balleby. Although the two men did not work together, they occasionally shared a bag of Corsican briar.
Jørgen's history in pipe making is an interesting one in that, aside from creating one of the first high grade Danish brands (the Jørgen L) and his 30 odd year association with Peter Stokkebye, he was also technical director for both Stanwell and Kriswill (though not at the same time). A slow and resourceful worker, and also having work outside of pipe making, Jørgen crafted only about 100 pipes each year, with 40% of the work he started ending up in his fireplace. 
While actively engaged in pipe making, Jørgen was one of the few pipe makers that would repair or make a new mouthpieces for his pipes free of charge. The customer had only to pay for mailing one-way, and he payed the return postage.
It had been previously report that Jørgen Larsen made Mr. Andersen pipes. David Field states, "Jorgen Larsen never made Mr. Andersen pipes to my knowledge."

Laxey Pipes Ltd.

Laxey Pipes Ltd. resided in a historical 19th century four-storey Man stone building at The Quay, Old Laxey, Isle of Man, which thankfully has been preserved.
The company specialised in the production of meerschaum pipes using the Meerschaum mined by the Tanganyika Meerschaum Corporation in the Amboseli basin in Tanganyika (since 1964 part of the United Republic of Tanzania).
Please note: you may often find names like "Manx Pipes Ltd.", "Man Pipe Co." and others more, but there is no indication of another Isle of Man pipe producer other than Laxey Pipe Ltd. at any time!
Laxey Pipes Ltd. marketed own brands like "Manxpipe", "Manxman", "Manxland" e.c. Names like "John Bull", "White Knight" (unwaxed), "Domino" (black, or lined) indicated some shapes / colours of Laxey's own series. The stems either showed the astronomical sign for "male" or "man" (circle + arrow), or the crest of the Isle of Man, the 3-legged X in a circle. Manxpipes and Laxey's other brands were available through pipe retailers in general, but also were sold (mainly) to tourists through their own shop in Laxey.
 
Image:Manx_03.jpg|
Image:Manx_02.jpg|
Image:Manx_01.jpg|
Image:Manx_04.jpg|
Furthermore Laxey Pipes Ltd. manufactured the meer bowls for Peterson, Barling, Nørding and others from the later 1960's until 2001. Man Pipe e.g. was a brand distibuted by Comoy's. The bowls usually showed no nomenclature indicating the orderer. "Genuine Block Meerschaum" was engraved frequently. Often, just the stems were different, while bowls were the same.

Supply of meerschaum from East Africa run out (Kenya / Tanzania exhausted, Somalia inaccessible), and thus the last Laxey meers were supplied to trade in May, 2001. Laxey Pipes Ltd. tried to survive continuing with briar pipes - mainly in the Danish style -, but to no success. It closed down business in July, 2002.

LePeltier

LePeltier is one of the few remaining clay pipe manufacturers in the world. In contrast, last Danish and Dutch clay pipe manufacturers perished in 1980s.
Clay (porcelain) pipes are available in several shapes and with various decorations. Modern in appearance (shape), and if a decorated one, this type of pipe certainly gets the attention amongst fellow pipesmokers (nowdays clay pipes are fairly unusual and a rarity as not often sighted). But that turns into advantage especially in this case.
Due the bowl material, ideal pipes for tobacco tasting, or for smoking different aromatics with the same pipe. And this feature attracts especially tobacco purists who feel that other bowl materials bring unwanted flavors which affect the pleasure.
Due its innovative structure, Lepeltier pipe does not "burn fingers", as the bowl surface remains fairly cool, unlike in case of solid clay bowls.
Good quality and very reasonable price combined means excellent value for money. One good addition to the pipe collection.
