Archaggelos pipes

I make Handmade Archaggelos pipes in order to achieve the best possible result for smokers.As a pipe smoker I want my pipes to smoke cool, with good air flow and their with their drilling to allow them to smoke a big variety tobaccos and blends. 
I made them mostly of briar burl, the best wood to make a smoking pipe, because of it's burn resistance and it's beautiful grain.I use only Greek air cured briar from 6 to 25 years old, in order to have perfect and dry wood, and acrylic or ebonite from German to make the stems. 
If there is anything that I can guarantee, is their great smoking, cause aged, dried briar and perfect drilling are requirements that every pipe must have.
I love classic shapes and their modern conversions, so I intend to study and make all those shapes.
Till then my makings are shown in "Pipes" column, sorted to straights, half-bents and bents shapes.

Aristocob

<revive zone="17" align="right" caption="Many thanks to Missouri Meerschaum Company for their Underwriting support" />
The Aristocob is an American made system pipe with corn cob bowl inserts. Originally the AL-COB CORPORATION out of Grand Haven, Michigan, which later became ARISTOCOB INCORPORATED from Caledonia, Michigan. Later still they were bought out by Missouri Meerschaum Company
Apparently available in the first place in a plastic case containing one pipe, 2 replacement corn cob bowl inserts and instructions for use. The cob inserts were made for some time by The Missouri Meerschaum Company, manufacturer of corn cob pipes in Washington, MO. The box shown is their box. They made the inserts from the early 1970’s until 1983. They are no longer available from that source but do appear on eBay at times
The top of the vaned outer bowl unscrews to enable easy replacement of the bowl insert. An inline filter can be used in the stem. The mouthpiece has been seen in two version, with and without an ‘O’ ring. The patent was filed on 20 Dec 1966 with the US patent 3,292,639.https://patents.google.com/patent/US3292639 The inventor was Joesph W. Zarikta of Grand Haven, Michigan USA – the assignor was the Al Cobb Corp. Courtesy Smokingmetal.co.uk

Arita, Shizuo

From Shizuo's website: (Edited for grammar)
In 1976 there was a small pipe smoking boom in Japan, because pipe smoking was considered better for one's health than smoking cigarettes.
My pipe collection had increased considerably since I started smoking at the age of 20. I completed a fine pipe in one day from a pipe-kit which was presented to me by my wife on my 40th birthday.
Since then, I have been absorbed in making pipes and have made more than 2,000 pipes in the past 30 years. These pipes are favored by many Japanese pipe smokers.
I was born in 1935 and am 71 years (2006) old. I was in business for 40 years, during which time I had been making pipes for 20 years. Eight years ago I retired from business and had more free time and was able to pursue many hobbies. Pipe making is also one of my hobbies and it is not the purpose to obtain an income, but is a creative activity aimed at making pipes.
I make about 100 pipes a year. Since I enjoy making pipes, I am not going to make more than that in a year. It seems that many pipe-makers design their own shapes and designs, and then proceed to repeat these designs. In my case, pipe making is a creation which asks for enjoyment, and I am always pursuing new designs.
About a good pipe for me
A hand made pipe is a tool for smoking tobacco. I think that the pipe which has fine briar grain and has a beautifully designed shape, gives you further satisfaction and a wonderful feeling when you touch it, as in art. I believe the pipe is similar to ceramic art which has a firm status as an art, and the requirements for such pipes are;
1. Many years of usage, trouble-free precision and construction, and a procurement of good briar.
2. For the tobacco to taste nice, the shape of bowl, diameter of the draft hole, flow of smoke, etc. have to be taken into consideration.
3. Quality of briar and grain has to be good, and flawless.
4. Grain has to be revealed clearly and the design composed of beautiful streams of curved lines, matching the grain.
5. Never tiring of the pipe, so that the more you use it, the more you get used to it, becoming so attached to it, that you could never part with it.

Arita, Takeo

Takeo Arita was born in 1971. The son of well known pipe maker Shizuo Arita. Takeo received the prize in a handmade pipe contest while still in elementary school. Takeo has developed his own style, very different from his father's. He was in architectural design before becoming a pipe maker.
Takeo Arita is the second-generation pipe maker in his family. His father, Shizuo, taught him all that he knows about pipes, and they share the same tools in Tokyo, though Takeo does much of his detail work in his home. His pipes are some of the most beautiful in the world, and each design is an extraordinary sculpted piece.
From his architectural background, Takeo pays close attention to every line on his pipes. Though some shaping is done on a sanding disk, the majority of the process is done through rotary tools, hand files, and sandpaper. His drilling technique is rather unique: many pipe makers drill before they shape and quite a few shape before drawing lines and using a lathe for the chamber. Takeo shapes his briar and then holds a hand drill to make the tobacco chamber by eye - which takes extreme care and practice. His stems are all hand cut from solid vulcanite rods, and his tenons are turned and polished from the same material. Mastodon ivory, boxwood, bamboo, and silver often adorn most of his pieces, and the finishes are either mirror-smooth or delicately dimpled with a rotary tool for rustication (which preserves the lines – another reason why he doesn’t sandblast). Grading is typically X, Y, Z (being the best), though his highest grade is the Kamon. As a generally affable and talented pipe maker, his work speaks volumes for extraordinary skill. courtesy, Smokingpipes.com

Arlington

Arlington Briar Pipes Corporation was founded in 1919 in Brooklyn, New York, and produced the Arlington, Briarlee, Firethorn, Kimberly, Kron,a and Olde London brands among dozens of others, primarily acting as a subcontractor making pipes to be sold under other brand names. Among others, in the 1950's, Arlington turned pipes for the famed Wilke Pipe Shop in New York City. The corporation was dissolved by the State of New York as inactive on December 6, 1978. Arlington Briar Pipe Corporation, located at 200 Kosciusko Street, Brooklyn, New York, registered only a single brand trademark, the Arlington brand, the trademark for which was applied for on November 13, 1962 and granted on February 25, 1964. Jack Kaye, of Arlington Briar, was also granted a patent for a combined mirror and stand in 1967.
According to José Manuel Lopes, "North American brand that belonged to Arlington Briar Pipes Corp., Brooklyn, New York, founded in 1919. In the 1940s, Ludwig Rosenberger gave the company new life, and it continued until the 70s. His son, Mel Rosenberger, has recently launched the DiMonte brand. Jack Uhle was also linked to Arlington."Lopes, Jose Manuel, Pipes: Artisans and Trademarks, Quimera Editores, 2005, p. 51
Arlington, as far as known, mainly operated as a sub-contractor for other brands. The Jobey pipes are said to be made by Arlington at an unknown point of time. Arlington's own pipes are seldom seen.

Armentrout

Armentrout pipes are made by Nathan Armentrout, from Lancaster, California. Like many other carvers began with a few pipe kits and a desire to see if he could mould a block of briar into a functional pipe. By his own admission, those early pipes were not the most beautiful, but an ember of fascination was lit. First and foremost, he is a science teacher, but has been learning about making briar pipes as a hobby since 2009. With some help and guidance from pipe makers and friends, his work is growing in design and detail. Nathan's pipes are inspired by Danish designs, and he pays close attention to carving stems from solid ebonite rods. Like many contemporary American carvers, he uses Delrin for his tenons. Currently, his pipes are either smooth, sandblasted, or a combination of the two. Utilizing exotic woods, acrylics, and bamboo to accent some of his pipes allows for lovely variation among transitional themes. Courtesy, Smokingpipes.com
Armentrout pipes have been sold by PipeHub, SATX Pipe, and Smokingpipes.com

Artebano

Artebano, aka Franco Maccaferri, Italian pipe maker, passed away on July 24th, 2008.
La bottega Artebano (Artebano's workshop) took it's name from the previous proprietor. It was homed in Via Mentana, a short and narrow road in the historic city center of Bologna.
Here Franco Maccaferri made his freehands, which were almost entirely bought by pipesters from Bologna and it's surroundings. Outside, in the rest of Italy, Artebano Pipes remained hardly known - a local insider tip. The workshop was a regular meeting place for a circle of pipe smokers on every Saturday afternoon gathering there to chat and to discuss on pipes and tobaccos.
Franco Maccaferri closed his bottega around the turn of 2005/2006 for health reasons (afak).
The following pipe and information is courtesy of Ceciline Michel:
file:Artebano1.JPG
file:Artebano2.JPG
 
The pipe has never been used. So it is absolutely in a mint condition. So are the mouthpieces. There is a golden ring separating mouthpiece from the pipe. Engraved in this gold-ring you’ll find 1903 and 1993 on opposite sides. So it must be a jubilee item. In the neck of the pipe you’ll find the following engraved on the lower side: Hand Made , underneath Italy, across the neck in small beautiful letters: Artebano and above that close to the golden ring the two letters B (and) L . On the clothbag is again the name written Artebano and the sketch of a man in an old fashioned outfit. The pipe-cleaners are in the color of green and red mixed.
The outer box shows a used appearance. The edges have lost their black coloring, so have the folding edges. Otherwise it is still in a good condition, no broken lines. 
 Inside the box was lying also a calling card. Here I repeat its wording:

Ascot

The earliest reports on Ascot pipes point to the French company La Bruyère in Saint-Claude. La Bruyére was a joint venture founded in 1932 by Chacom and another, yet unknown firm. Disbanded in 1957.
Chacom continued Ascot as a sub-brand. Elder pieces don't bear any signature of the manufacturer. Recently seen Ascot pipes have Chacom's logo "CC" on the stem. These pipes, described "Army push-bit system, acrylic application in horn optics, 9 mm filter", are marketed in Germany.
Image:Ascot_F43.jpg|Shape 43
Image:Ascot_F871.jpg|Shape 871
Image:Ascot_F944.jpg|Shape 944
Not to be confused with another France made brand named Royal Ascot suffixed "Algerian Briar"!
H. Perkins & Sons (Henry P. and sons Arthur and Henry Charles) - so since 1901 - were long-established silversmiths in London. The firm was converted into a limited liability company in 1922 as Henry Perkins & Sons Ltd. Later Perkins got famous for exquisite silver lighters - supplying among others Dunhill.
Vice versa H. Perkins & Sons, later a branch of Beney Ltd., had made Ascot pipes as private label by Dunhill. With a little bit of good luck one might found very attractive pieces.¹ Ca 1960's to 1980's.

Finally, Ascot pipes of Italian descent are offered in the USA. Budget pipes advertised "These rusticated Italian pipes come in a variety of unique shapes and are a perfect addition to any smoker's collection. I challenge you to find a better pipe for the money." Some bear the residual name "Barracini" - others not. Barracini itself is obviously an inferior outlet of ?.

Ashby Hall

Ashby Hall (sometimes written as 'Ashby-Hall') was an English make owned by Ashby Hall Briar Pipes Limited. While the exact details of the ownership of Ashby Hall are as yet unknown, what is known is that their pipes were made by former Charatan pipe-maker Stan Haney.Per former Charatan and James Upshall carver Ken Barnes. See Barnes & Silver, 2022. The timeline for the creation of Ashby Hall pipes would appear to be 1977-1982, as Haney left Charatan after Dunhill's acquisition of the company in 1977, and had moved on to another employ (one not in the pipe industry) by 1982. 
Ashby Hall pipes are very rare, but those that have been documented show strong similarities to Charatan's freehand pipes from the Lane era, minus Lane's proprietary double comfort stem.

Asteriou, Chris

Chris Asteriou is an Athenian Architect and designer who began making pipes in 2007. His work is notable for adhering to traditional English shaping sensibilities, although with his own unique sense of proportion.
In addition to early 20th century English inspired design Chris also makes some contemporary forms. Organic shapes, bamboo shank extensions and accents from corian material characterize the other side of his pipe making style.
He uses properly dry plateaux Greek briar and all the mouthpieces are hand cut from German ebonite. The tenons are turned from the same stock and are reinforced with stainless steel tube for additional strength.
"Chris Asteriou is a talented pipe maker living in Greece, where he is among the few carvers expanding his influence beyond his borders. Aesthetically speaking, his work is a marvel of detail. With an Industrial Design and Architecture background, he knows what it takes to think critically about attention to detail and overall quality. Though a self-taught pipe maker, Chris is certainly a star. His formal training helped him rise to the challenge of making pipes he liked but were too expensive to easily acquire. Like many other makers, all it took was a few blocks and ingenuity to get the creative juices flowing.
His inspiration is derived from classic English shapes, from a time when all of the operating houses had strict standards for quality and overall appeal. Functionality, proportion, and craftsmanship are all important qualities if one wishes to become successful, and Chris Asteriou has an inherent understanding of that dynamic. Hand-cut stems, complete with turned tenons instead of inserted delrin, demonstrate his appreciation for old-style pipe making. Keeping his pieces clean and free from distracting accents, his offerings will undoubtedly be admired for their quality far into the future."
