John's Pipe Shop

About a year ago I came upon a flea market 25th St in Manhattan. A young man had his table set up and he had a large number of very distinctive looking pipes. I took a look and saw that almost all of them were marked "John's Pipe". The grain was very nice and the carving was very interesting, most being in the free hand realm. These pipes were sizable. The one drawback as I saw it was all of these pipes had pits or mars in the briar. But the styling on these pipes was very interesting.
John’s Pipe Shop from Los Angeles was open for decades, starting in 1908 and looks like into the 1980’s or a little longer. They had pipes made for them by European companies, one of which is Comoy’s for sure. As seen on their matchbook cover ad their “Exclusive Brands” included Wilshire, Rosemore, Extra, Fairmont, Silvermont and Avalon. There were two shops, one at 524-524 1/2 S. Spring St. in the heart of downtown early Los Angeles, and the other at 6725 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood 28, Calif. I’ve found old matchbook covers with that info and a photo of their horse drawn carriage with a large pipe bowl on the back as an advertisement. The photo was from the 1900-1929 timeframe.

John's also had pipes made for them by Comoy's, and perhaps other companies, as evidenced by the following example:

John Cotton

John Cotton tobaccos have held a place in tobacco lore that could be considered "legendary." It all started in the late 1700s, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Advertising places the start of the John Cotton brand in 1770. This origin is disputed, with no documentation that survives from the era offering solid proof. It is possible that the store was opened by George Cotton in 1773. The titular John Cotton was the youngest of George's children and was born in 1801. 
This John opened up a shop in 1826 and likely competed with some family members, as there were many Cottons with tobacco shops. In the end, John absorbed his father's store after George's passing and became the John Cotton tobacco store that we knew.
So the origin of the store might be 1770, 1773, or 1826. However, it does not really matter when it was founded, as the John Cotton store and his tobacco became well known and extremely popular blends around the world.

John Crouch

"John Crouch Tobacconist embodies the essence of Virginia. After all, tobacco is Virginia’s oldest industry. 
Years ago, tobacco was believed to have medical properties and a tobacconist was consulted in much of the same way that a pharmacist is today. In those days, a tobacconist would create a blend of tobacco products to ease an ailment.
John Crouch Tobacconist has been home to the Washington areas’ nicest and largest humidor for over 30 years."
Apparently they also have pipes made for them under their name.

John Peel

John Peel pipes appear to be made by the Portland Pipe Co. out of England. Portland Pipe Co. may have been a sub-brand owned by Barling, and initially started in the 1930's, reportedly going out of business in 1962.
Many JOHN PEEL pipes are known the following general stamping:
"JOHN PEEL, A PORTLAND PIPE, MADE WHOLLY IN ENGLAND"
However others were stamped "John Peel Myhre Oslo, Made In England, B.Barling Brand Pipe" which shows an absolute tie to Barling, probably during the Corporate stage of Barling, when pipe would have been stamped BB&S for B. Barling & Sons.
Some are stamped B. Barling Ltd., or JOHN PEEL, LONDON ENGLAND
Finlay purchased Barling in 1962, and Imperial pipe co. owned 49% of Finlay, so it's no surprise that there are some JOHN PEEL pipes made with the Imperial branding as well.

Jopp

thumb|Drawing, Courtesy Hank Saatchi
An Engineer by trade, an Artist by natural talent, Uwe Jopp has all the right tools and qualities to carve a decent pipe. But he does create some incredible smoking instruments that are way much better than just decent. They are beautiful art pieces to look at and precise with their inner mechanics to ensure optimum smoking experience. He is quite possibly the next Rainer Barbi.
A native of the historic State of Saxony, Germany, Uwe Jopp spent the earlier years of his career as a civil engineer in designing and constructing of buildings. Along the way, he got into the hobby of wood turning, which eventually lead to his curiosity in pipe making in 2003. 
From early on, Uwe had the vision that the flexible drill bits could help him carve better draft holes with bent pipes and allow him to come up with more dramatic and eye catching designs. The initial results were satisfactory to his customers’ and to his own expectations, in terms of cooler smoking experience and strikingly sharp looking designs. Today, the results are at the mastery level and his unique signature shapes such as the Flowfish and the Saxonian Cobra are highly desired among the collectors.
 
All Jopp pipes are fully handmade, by the carver himself, with hand picked, high quality briar. 
The grading of Uwe Jopp pipes, in ascending order:
* “Hand Made”
* 2 Diamonds
* 3 Diamonds
* 4 Diamonds
* 5 Diamonds
* 5 Diamonds with Crown

Jorgenson

Yern „Bo“ Jorgenson and his wife Billie owned a shop named "Gateway Pipes and Tobaccos" in Wayne, Pennsylvania. He was an authorized repairer to Dunhill and Charatan (among others).
Besides that he made his own pipes, which were exclusively sold in the shop. The pipes were credited for their extraordinary quality: best briar from Sardinia, personally selected at Carl B. Weber's pipe factory in New York and a very traditional manner of manufacturing with tools handed down to him by his grandfather. Putty was never used and the finish was done with Carnuba wax only. - Early in the 70's his pipes asked prices around 15 - 16 Dollars.

Jose Rubio

Jose Rubio started at first as a collector then later as a pipe repairman. After a few years he started to make pipes within his goal being not only to create a superb looking pipe but a superb smoking pipe. He takes great pride in hand selecting only the best blocks. All his pipes have a slight V shaped interior as he feels this is the best shape for the largest variety of tobacco types to deliver of their best. 
He is almost fanatical about his stems and insists that all stems be between 4-4.2 millimeters thickness and the sides edges be smooth, which he hand sands. All are made from Grade A German Vulcanite. His stems are amongst the best I have seen. His sandblast almost always have ring grain which he achieves by only using straight grins and a 5 part blasting process. It takes him up to 12 hours to sandblast a pipe. He is absolutely convinced that his deep blasting by creating a greater surface are delivers a fresh and cool smoke. His pipes are individually crafted to the highest engineering tolerances to deliver the best smoking characteristics. He makes a maximum of 110 pipes a year.

Joyce

C. Kent Joyce: A Pipe Collector at heart, Kent has drawn inspiration from the many fine Artisan pipes in his collection in addition to the works of some of the Japanese, Danish, Russian, & Swedish Masters. Kent has also ventured into the unknown with his own eclectic design, and he is not afraid to experiment to create something new. 
Kent is from Noble, Oklahoma USA, and his first venture into Pipes & Tobaccos was when a friend gave him two pipes. Used to working with his hands to fix and build, Kent naturally took to pipe making when he first tried his hands at it with a pre-drilled briar pipe kit. One year later, Kent had developed the techniques and skill to make a fine pipe from scratch, with knowledge gained on pipe makers forum and other pipe makers. He has also been guided by Veteran pipe makers Premal Chheda & Tyler Lane, and many others in person and online. Kent is very grateful for the generosity and sharing of knowledge between colleagues in the great pipe making community. Now working out of his small Storage Building in his back yard, Kent creates his works with precision and patience from fine Mediterranean briar and German Ebonite. He also may use other materials for decorations on the pipes including Black Palm, Olive, & other Exotics. Courtesy, Smokershaven.com

Jud

Daniel Jud, born in 1958, became a pipe smoker aged 16. HIs preferred pipes back then came from Lorenzo. Later, as a medicine student in Basel, he became acquainted with the pipes of Joura, Knudsen, Poul Hansen (among others) and learned to appreciate them. After the education as a physician he opened a practice as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist in Erlen, Canton of Thurgau (Argovia), fifteen kilometers from the Lake of Constance.
Due to his faible for metal and as a balancing element to his wearing down occupation he set up an outstanding equipped precision workshop, in which he worked regularly for one or two hours a day. The avid pipe smoker bred out the idea to carve a pipe himself. Telling his tobacconist about that, he was adviced to contact Hans "Former" Nielsen, who produced the Bentley pipes at that time in Kleinlützel in the Swiss Jura. Nielsen kindly gave him many useful tips about pipemaking and in addition he also received the first blocks of briar.
In 1990 Daniel Jud began as a hobbyist but very systematically with the manufacture of pipes. Later he paid several visits to Jaques Craen, the owner of Genod in Saint-Claude. Jaques Craen mediated some further dexterities and Jud lateron obtained most of his briar from there. Yet all in all as a pipemaker of passion he’s an autodidact.
Not earlier than in 2000, Jud considered his pipes to be good enough to test-market them. In deed they found approving reception by some collectors and helped making contacts to (among others) Cornelius Mänz and the well known collector Jörg Lehmann, who supported him with valuable references and provided access to various materials such as horn, exotic woods and means for the surface treatment.
Daniel Jud’s workshop disposes of an equipment which might even arouse the envy of some professional fulltime carvers. He presently produces about 60 – 70 pipes per year, the wood coming predominantly from Morocco, Algeria and Spain. In accordance with his outspoken predeliction for flake tobaccos very many of his pipes have a rather larger volume. Pipes with 9mm filter drillings are made on request.
Offered are smooth, sanded and rusticated pipes. By rustication combined with subsequent sanding he sometimes turnes out very attractive surface patterns. In the course of the time Daniel Jud developed some typical and more often repeated shapes. The mouthpieces are mainly made from ebonite rods but every once in a while he experiments with very nice multicolored Cumberland material. Very significant for his work are metal applications such as titanium, stainless steel and brass rings. 
Beautiful pipes, solidly and functionally made. Daniel Jud is surely a maker to be watched.

Jud's Pipe Shop

Jud's Pipe Shop existed in Houston, Texas starting in 1940. They were both pipe makers and tobacconists, with their location at 3109 Main Street, Houston Tx. Some pipe's bore their name as Jud's, plus they are noted to have carried Comoy's and GBD brands as well. They have their own blends of tobaccos as well as other popular brands. Attached are some scan of pages from their 1968 catalog, courtesy of Jeff Otto as shown on Chris Keen's pipe pages, much thanks to both! Included is a pipe marked Jud's, and shown as made in France, so it may not be produced by Jud's and perhaps may or may not be from their store.

Juls

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes
Juls pipes are by the German artisan Julian Schäffer, who began carving pipes in 1982, and worked with Former and Rainer Barbi. Influenced by Danish design, his pieces are both with and without 9mm filters, and have ebonite stems. They are collectors items today.
The brand ran from 1982 to the beginning of the 1990s, when Julian ceased production, and moved on to other activities. Stamp: Juls

Jura is a departmenthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Departments_of_France (#39) in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France. This is where Saint-Claude the french capital of pipe manufacturing is located.
This name has graced many pipes by many makers, including Alpha, who made a Jura line for the Tinder Box, and Chacom, who still makes a Jura line of pipes.
== Jura brand ==
The Jura brand, however, was made by André Lançon, who built a factory in 1926 later acquired by Ropp.

Jørgen Dam

Danish pipemaker Jørgen Dam is one of the hidden treasures of Danish pipemaking. He is not well-known for several reasons. First, he worked for a long time as a police officer in the city of Gentofte, one of Copenhagen's suburban areas, and spent most his daytime hours there. Then, when he did make pipes, he did it primarily for Bjarne Pipes (like Søren Refbjerg, Johs Pipes and others) where the pipes were marked with Bjarne’s stamp. 
Bjarne from Bjarne Pipes was strict. The pipemakers were only allowed to make pipes for him – he delivered the briar wood and other materials, but they could not take in other retailers or brands. The only exception was that they could sell ‘work shop’ pipes locally. Jørgen Dam did this occasionally, and it is interesting to follow the trail from his pipes, because if one finds them as estates, they are primarily found in Gentofte where he worked and up to north of Zealand in Denmark where he lived in the city Espergærde. His pipes followed him, so to speak.
Pipes from Jørgen Dam are marked JD, Denmark.
