Salmastro

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes
Salmastro is a recent Italian brand by Michele Mellone Salmastro, who started making pipes in 2004. 
Michele was born in Trieste and lives in Monferrato, Asti. He has done graphic work, painting and design, and still designs furniture. He began making pipes, and the Danish influence is clear, after contacts with Mimmo of Romeo Pipe. He makes 60 to 80 pipes a year, mostly freehands, some with horn stems.

Salvatella

Salvatella was a pipe company founded in 1883 by Enric Moulines Giralt in Catalonia, Spain, long the center both of briar production and pipemaking in Spain. Giralt started the company after training with French pipemakers, and primarily dedicated himself to the development of briar. It was not until Giralt's nephew, the third to take over the company, that Salvatella began producing pipes as well as briar. While at their height the company produced as many as 150,000 pipes per year and exported pipes worldwide, the factory closed in 2001. 
Among other carvers, Salvatella pipes were shaped by Segimon Baulenas, who began with the company in 1973, and went on to make his own line of pipes under the name Pipas Sigmund, at a rate of approximately 250 pipes a year.

Sam Adebayo

Sam Adebayo first began making pipes as a hobby, completing around 100 of them for friends and acquaintances before he seriously considered "going public," as it were. Previous to that, he was no stranger to pipes, having picked up his first while still a teenager, though he didn't really get serious about them until his early twenties. As he puts it, his first briar was acquired simply because he thought it would make him "a cool jazz cat like Mingus or Dolphy." As his pipe-related intentions matured, his tastes turned towards classic English smoking instruments, and the inspiration to make pipes himself grew from a desire we've heard before in the backgrounds of a few greats: he desired pipes he couldn't afford to purchase. So, he would try making those pipes he desired instead.
As a pipemaker Sam's influences are numerous: Todd Johnson, Rad Davis, Tyler Beard, Bruce Weaver, and Adam Remington are artisans he got to know personally from attending the Chicago show, while he also expresses admiration for the work of Tokutomi, Adam Davidson, Abe Herbaugh, and Chris Asteriou. When Sam isn't busy making his own pipes, he's busy seeing to the making of other pipes — he also happens to be the Production Supervisor for BriarWorks International. This has afforded him the chance to work right beside Todd Johnson, Pete Prevost, Micah Redmond, and Bill Shalosky. Plus, it's also there at the BriarWorks fully kitted-out workshop that they all often stay late, after the regular workday is done, to create pipes of their own. Courtesy, Smokingpipes.com

Karl Harris, writes:
"The inventor was Samuel Harris from Dayton, Ohio. He was President of the Globe Clothing Company, Money Back Harris and Harris Clothing. He was born in Detroit Michigan, raised in Oakland, California which is across the Bay from San Francisco. The Family story was he slept through the legendary San Francisco earthquake of 1906. He graduated from the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio. He served as a Rabbi in Toledo Ohio for 4 years before settling in Dayton. He is my grandfather and last night I discovered four of his original unused Samhara Pipes in their boxes along with his notes and drawings."
 
Note: Fantastic to have this information and history directly from Samuel's grandson. Hopefully we will have more photos and additional notes to add soon.

Samuel McLardy

The following information is from the dutchpipesmoker.com:
The McLardy company thanks its existence to the entrepreneurial spirit of 1 person: Samuel McLardy, born in Glasgow in 1842. He was the son of a tobacconist who also produced his own clay pipes. In the paternal shop he must have learned the profession of pipe-maker. Shortly after his 20th birthday he decided to move to Manchester to start his own company. There is remarkably little known about the history of the factory. On an old advertisement it says “established 1865” so since then there must have been a steady growth. Within a couple of decades there was a massive production of clay pipes. Around 1895 the factory owned over 500 moulds which meant yearly production was around 5 million pipes! Similar to that of Dutch factory P. Goedewaagen & Zoon in that period. Over time we find Samuel McLardy at different locations. Before 1880 that was Miller Street number 16 in Manchester and it is there where the shop grew to the size of a factory. In 1890 the company moved to Shudehill number 67 where it remained active until after 1910.
The production of clay pipes was a large part of the McLardy operation and this interesting Pipe Manufacturers Catalogue shows several clay models displayed for sale. Duco’s article, referenced above, examines the historical realities impacting the Samuel McLardy Co., (typical of other UK pipe companies) by navigating through relatively prosperous years leading up to the turn of the century, the decline of interest in clay pipes, diversification of other product lines to cope with falling revenues, WWI, the growing economic bubble of the 20s leading ultimately to the collapse of the McLardy, Co., soon after the stock market crashes in September (for UK) and October (for US), 1929. I found this last statement regarding the Samuel McLardy, Co., as a matter of public record published in archives of The London Gazette regarding the liquidation of the company. Reflective of the times, there were several companies listed in the Gazette which were being “wound up”:
The Companies Act, 1929.
Special Resolution of SAMUEL McLARDY & CO. Limited.
Passed 13th January, 1930.
AT an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Members of the above named Company, duly convened, and held at No. 20, Swan-street, Manchester, on the 13th day of January, 1930, the following Resolution was duly passed as a Special Resolution: –
” That the Company be wound up voluntarily; and that Mr. George Elder, Chartered Accountant, of Edwin Collier & Co., 3, York-street, Manchester, be appointed Liquidator for the purposes of such winding-up.”

Samvel Mirijanyan

Samvel Mirijanyan writes the following:
I was born into a family of doctors. After graduating from school, I entered the Yerevan State Agrarian University and obtained a Phd in agricultural sciences. However, while I was in the university, my grandmother insisted on making me learn any craft-related profession and my choice fell on jewelry making. After this decision, in 1980, I began to combine my university studies with private classes in jewelry making and silversmithing.
 Since 2000, I have devoted myself to the production of jewelry. At the same time, I started collecting and restoring old pipes, which led to my constant research into the restoration of wood, ebonite, horns, bones and more, testing many technologies from different eras and different countries.
About 5 years ago I decided to try making a pipe out of a piece of briar and it worked. My experience as a jeweler was very helpful in making pipes. Accuracy in finishing, cleanliness of lines, the “correct” weight of the product - all these are principles that I value very much. I am constantly trying to find a balance between form and ergonomics. This of course shows up in the proportions, shape and color of my pipe. Today I make 10 to 20 pipes a year, from briar from different countries (Italy, Cyprus, Corsica, Spain, etc.). In my work I use a variety of materials, mostly natural raw materials.

Sanding

The basis for the following article was written by Tyler Lane for his website, and is used by permission.
It wouldn't be too far off base to call pipe makers pipe sanders, as that is what a large chunk of pipe making time is spent doing! Sanding all the nook's and cranny's of a very detailed shape can get rather mind-numbing, but the results are worth it. There is not a lot to say in this section other than, be sure to sand ever little spot on the pipe with ever grit you use. Leaving scratch marks anywhere on the pipe is a big no, no.
The lowest grit paper I use is 220. I use this grit for the first sanding step, and I spend considerable time with this grit as I use it to do the fine tuning of the shape of the pipe. Coming off the sanding disc, the stummel with have humps and bumps and other surface irregularities. With 220 and patience, you can make the surface of the stummel perfectly smooth. I also use it to make all aspects o the pipe symetrical. Tweaking of the rim of the pipe to make it a perfect circle and other fine shaping tasks are things I do with 220.
From 220, I advance to 320, 400, 600, and finally 800. I have found that I cannot improve the finish by going past 800. Again, let me reiterate that you must be very careful to sand 100% or the pipe with all the grits. It is very frustrating to begin staining the pipe only to find a scratch that requires you to go all the way back to 400 grit to remove. When this happens you will have to resand the entire pipe with starting with 400 going up to your final grit. The reason being that you have to remove all the stain so that you can have a uniform color once you get back to staining.
Some folks like to apply a stain early in the sanding process in order to see such deep scratches and make sure to remove them early in the sanding process the first time around. I don't do his simply because I do not want any residual color left from that sanding stain. If you don't mind that little amount of color left in the grain, this is a very good way to be uniform with your sanding.
Santané

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes
Josep Santané i Ribas was born in Tossa de Mar, in Girona, Catalonia, Spain, and is one of the few in the country still producing artisan pipes. The tradition of working in wood came from his grandfather, Dionís. As a child he would watch his grandfather making miniature boats for hours.
 He uses regional briar and spend between 10 and 20 hours producing each pipe, which are often based on a customer's suggestion. He only makes unique pipes--few in number, signed and each with its own certificate.

Santaroko Pipes

Hello everyone my name is ST Kuo, I make HAND MADE smoking pipes under the name "Santaroko Pipes". I live in Taiwan and after working for many years in IT Storage Networking (which is a very hot topic in the computer industry), I was able to retire and pursue my true love of making pipes, it is what truly inspires me and allows me to express my creativity. I have loved the artistry and craftsmanship of pipes since I was a much younger Man,and now I can do this for my own satisfaction and hopefully for yours as well. 
I have traveled to over thirty Countries for business, during my trips I checked out pipe shops and admired the craftsmanship of others, but as I found pipes that really appealed to me, a little voice inside my head kept telling me ... "You should make your OWN pipes, this is what you are destined to do!"
Shortly after this revelation I came to a point in my life that allowed me to do exactly that, I was able to retire early from the large company I spent so much of my life at,and pursue my OWN dream and make it a reality.
Most would just sit on their balcony and watch the Sunset, but I have a burning desire to create, to see where my dreams will lead me, and now after some time has gone by, I have made many pipes, used my imagination to not just make a standard pipe, but to experiment with different designs and materials that just come to me, and I've gotten much encouragement from not just local people but also from people all over the world, so I must be doing everything right. 
The knowledge I have gained from this very site (Pipedia) along with Wiki for Pipes, YouTube and other sources on-line, is like having many Mentors, each giving me more ideas, and I love to experiment with all sorts of different materials and methods learned from all these very talented Pipe makers who so generously share some of their techniques. There is something very satisfying about taking some materials and transforming it into a work of art that also will give the owner a wonderful smoking experience.

Santos

Sabina Santos is the name behind Sabina Pipes, handmade pipes from Portugal.
One of the few active female pipemakers in pipe carving community.
Sabina Santos was born on 20th May 1985 in Tiel, Netherlands, but lives in Portugal since she was 3 years old.
She is married and a mother of a 5 years boy.
Sabina has a Communication Degree but she used to work in Finantial area. Working with numbers gave her useful skills as concentration, accuracy and focus on details.
But she always missed an activity in which she could express her criativity.
Her old job was a bit stressful and she usually dedicated her free time to small projects of wood craft. Working with hands always gave to Sabina a peaceful and fulfillment feeling.
 
When her husband, a long time pipe smoker, began to explore the pipe makers universe, she started to find it very interesting and she felt in love with the idea of carving a pipe.
​After her son were born, she left her job to be a stay at home mom and when he was 3 months old, Sabina had the opportunity to carve her first pipe.
She just loved the experience and it was the beginning of her journey as pipe maker.
During three years Sabina was a self-taught pipe maker, learning with each pipe, with attempts and errors.
But it was not enough for her and she felt the urge to learn more.
​To achieve that Sabina spent 7 weeks in Denmark in a journey to improve her skills in pipe carving.
​The pipe maker Joao Reis has been Sabina's Mentor and with him she got another view from the smoking pipe design and engineering.
​During her stay in Denmark, she got also precious lessons and advices from the pipe makers Kai Nielsen, Tom Eltang, Kurt Balleby and Tao.
Attending the Chicago Pipe Show and the International Pipe Show in Chengde - China, Sabina could also meet other pipe makers, who have became good friends and also share their knowledge, as Alex Florov and Premal Cheeda.
The design of Sabina's pipes have a strong Danish influence.
She get inspiration in the great Scandinavian Pipe Masters, such as the Ivarsson Family, Bo Nordh, Paul Ilsted and Jess Chonowitsch.
She likes the classic shapes but with a modern twist.
Despite Sabina pursue an aesthetic approach, when she's carving a pipe, her main focus is always in a rigorous engineering and drilling execution in order to ensure a superior smoking experience.
She seek for beautiful pipes, never forgetting they are intended to be smoked.
Sabina's pipes are all stamped as "Sabina" and some got in addition the "G" stamp. This stamp is just reserved for the greatest pipes and a tribute to her son, Gil.

Sara Pipes

Sara Pipes
<revive zone="18" align="right" caption="A selection of Sara Eltang pipes is available at CIGARWORLD, a new Pipedia Underwriter" />
When the Danish pipe maker Karl Erik passed away all too soon in 2004, Tom Eltang got his old lathe and a wage plan got new life... 
For a long time Tom Eltang had been playing with the idea of making good sincere pipes at an affordable price. "I wanted to create pipes with a quality of construction that is comparable to expensive high grade pipes, but at a reasonable price." Tom invested in and established a small "factory setup" and designed the Sara Eltang Pipes - a line of elegant and classic shaped models that fits the setup.
The pipes are named after Tom and Pia Eltang's youngest daughter. Sara has not given only her name to the project - she takes an active part in the production. Always barefooted and hence the logo, she has been helping her father in his workshop since years. Furthermore there is Kurt Hansen, an old pipemaker friend of Tom, helping out in the "factory" turning the pipes on the lathe one by one. All pipes are inspected and hand-finished by Tom himself. Knowing him, he will not compromise on quality, but with a life long experience in the pipe making business he knows how to optimize the production and to be efficient and still keep the quality.
The pipes are all fitted with acrylic mouthpieces and they come in smooth and sandblast finish with and without filter.

Saul Salzhauer

Many thanks to Hank Saatchi for discovering an interesting New York Times article from FEB. 18, 1973 that prominently features Saul Salzhauer, as well as Jack H. Weinberger (JHW Pipes) and William Craig. The following is an excerpt from that article:
NEWARK—For Saul Salzhauer, one of three known men who turn out handmade pipes in New Jersey, he is a craftsman engaged in an art that is being strangled by the assembly line.
“There's no question about it, this is a dying art,” said Mr. Salzhauer in his workshop at Jelling's Cigars, Inc. Now 53 years old, he has fashioned pipes for the smoker for the last 22 years.
“First, let me say there are only three of us left in the state, to my knowledge, and all of us are more than 50 years old,” Mr. Salzhauer went on. “But that's not why this is a dying art.
“In the Depression years, my father was in the business and taught me how to make pipes. The pipemakers of old did the entire job. But by the Depression years, the craft started to die because everything was put on the assembly line in order to bring prices down.
“No one person did the entire job. For example, someone who did the sanding couldn't finish a pipe. Making machine pipes is like making a key; you can stamp out thousands of them.”
Mr. Salzhauer creates freeform pipes from Algerian and Greek briar and other woods. Since 1951, he has commuted to his job here from his home in Brooklyn.
