Fiamma di Re

Fiamma di Re was founded by Giannino Spadoni who was also a founding partner of Mastro de Paja circa 1980. Andrea Pascucci bought Piamma di Re in 2016. He lives in Pesaro where he was born and grew up. He works in a small workshop that he created to suit his needs over twenty years. He makes the pipes on his own, using only aged Italian briar. He focuses on technical aspects to insure a pleasant smoke, and follows the briar's grain. He makes classical shapes with his personal view of elegance and sometimes lets creativity guide him, creating more unique pipes.

Fikri Baki is a young Turkish meerschaum pipe maker, who trained in Europe with a well-known artisan. He produces models inspired by contemporary Danish aesthetics, with handmade stems. For many years, Baki's pipes were distributed exclusively by Deniz Ural. As of 2019, he is distributed by the Chinese-based TuWun Meerschaum store which is sold through AliExpress. 
His stamp is his signature done on the side of the stem and is either F. Baki or on some newer pipes, Fikri Baki.

Filar

Today Ryszard Filar is one of the highly respected "elder masters of Polish pipemaking. He started in the workshop of the famous Walat brothers where he worked together with Ryszard Kulpinski.
Kulpinski and Filar joint together after Ludwik Walat’s death establishing their own firm in 1981. But merely two years later the duo separated again in 1983 and both went on to work alone. Curiously their workshops are situated in the same street of Przemysl.
One of a kind freehands - "Autografy" - don't seem to be Mr. Filar's metier. Apparently he prefers the more dignified line and offers mostly classically influenced shapes, finished smooth or (semi)-rusticated and produced in small series. Well executed, friendly smoking pipes for every day and any occasion. He marks his pipes with a "F" in circle and his second name stamped on the shank.

Fillenwarth

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by Jose Manuel Lopés'
Tony Fillenwarth , from Mazon , Illinois, started making pipes in his spare time--Freehands with original and exotic shapes. Today he makes 100 pipes a year, some in olive wood. He works with Greeka dn Algerian briar, and uses acrylic, ebonite, and cumberland stems. Stamp: Fillenwarth / USA.
Tony Fillenwarth about himself:
"I live in Mazon, Illinois which is a small town about one hour south of Chicago. I work a full time job and make pipes in my spare time. Pipe production for the year will be less than 75. My first pipe was made from a pipe kit I bought on eBay. Once I finished that first pipe I knew I would be making pipes for the rest of my life. I was completely hooked and I set about learning all I could about pipe making. I think learning new things and trying out different ideas are some of my favorite elements of pipe making. The possibilities are endless."

Fincato

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by Jose Manuel Lopés'
"Fincato is the brand of the famous tobacconist in central Rome, owned by Fausto Fincato. Model of the designer in 2000 for the Brebbia Grandi Designers della Pepa special series. Fausto was born in Padua on July 5th, 1940. At an early age he went to the capital where his Aunt Emilia had a tobacconist next to Chigi Palace and the Chamber of Deputies (the Italian Parliment). 
Fausto transformed the shop into a smoker's paradies where, on the upper floor, visitors can admire his private collection. He founded the magazine Smoking, aimed at Italian pipe smokers, and the club Circolo della Pipa, in the 1990s."
History: Emilia Fincato opened his tobacco shop in 1932. On the ground floor loose cigarettes, tobacco and Toscani. On the first floor the tailor shop of her husband Carmelo. The nephews Fausto Fincato and Bruno Baggio began to manage it in the '60s, until it became a point of reference for lovers of pipe of Rome. In 1971, the tailor shop became the lounge where clients such as Sandro Pertini could smoke in freedom, where young fans attending courses to learn how to smoke and know the pipe. In 2001 Fincato opened "La Casa del Habano", the first in Italy, space dedicated to the Habanos of Cuba. Emiliano Fincato, the third generation, since the '90s manages the company with his father Fausto. 
Today, Fincato - La casa del Habano is an historic store of Rome, a brand, reference for fans of slow smoking. Visiting the tobacconist Fincato means to make a journey into the world of pipes and cigars. Briar pipe of the best brands, meerschaum pipes in actual and vintage production, Cuban cigars, Toscani cigars, blends of tobacco, lighters, cutters, cigar boxes and other accessories. Fincato means experience, craft, passion for tobacco and its instruments, the smoke and his curves, the games that inspires.

Finn Andersen

Finn Andersen is one of the lessor known Danish pipemakers. While he never became famous, he clearly made fantastic pipes, as can be seen below. His relative obscurity is likely due to reaching his prime during a difficult market for handmade Danish pipes.
Nikolaj Nielsen, proprietor of The Danish Pipes Shop, also reports that Finn Andersen was the maker (or perhaps one of the makers) of Mr. Andersen pipes for Remo Sørensen. It is unclear if this Finn Andersen is also Finn Meyan Andersen, who was part of the Briar Workshop, but that certainly seems possible, if not likely.
His pipes are marked Finn Andersen, Skovlunde (Skovlunde is a city in Denmark).

Fireside

Several different makers apparently used the Fireside name. 
The Smoker's Ephermeris, Summer 83 - Spring 84 issue, page 43 makes mention of a pipe maker named William Craig at Hurffville's (NJ) Fireside Pipe Shop. 
Fireside has three entries in Who Made That Pipe (1997, by Herb Wilczak & Tom Colwell) as follows:
*2714, Fireside: Comoy's, Ben Wade, and John Pollock (Pollock Clay Pipes). Country listed as England
*2714, Fireside: Westminster NYC (USA), and Hardcastle Pipes (Enlgland)
*2715, Fireside Churchwarden: John Pollock and Co. (Pollock Clay Pipes), and Comoy's. Country listed as England 
The example bellow is marked Fireside Made in Denmark. Perhaps the Fireside Pipe shop, or one of the other briar pipe makers listed above, also imported pipes from a maker in Denmark. Or this may have been made by Ben Wade when they were being made in Denmark, but this would be very different from the typical "Freehands" they were associated with during that era.

Fischer

Gustave Fischer was pipe maker for "The House of Fischer', which was located in Orchard Park, NY, near Buffalo. 
The Fischer family apparently made pipes for six generations, starting in Germany and continuing in the United States until the 1970s. Their literature from 1956 said that all their briars were bench made. They also made meerschaums, but some confusion is caused by the fact that there was also Gustav Fischer, who made meerschaum pipes in Boston during roughly the same period.
File:FischerZulu01.jpg
File:FischerZulu07.jpg
The following information is gleaned from a thread on PipesMazaine.com
PIPES BY THE HOUSE OF FISCHER, ORCHARD PARK NY
Fischer pipes were made in USA through the 1950's up to late 1978 when the owner, Paul Fischer retired, sold the store and moved to Florida in 1978. Unfortunately The House of Fischer did not use a date stamp on their pipes, and therefore it is not possible to determine the exact date of manufacture.
Lee Pattison writes the following: The Fischer shop in Buffalo closed in the late 1950’s last run by Arthur Fischer who moved shop to his home in Orchard Park. Arthur was the last of the family and retired 1978. Early pipes made in shop in Buffalo were stamped Buffalo in loop below name. Art deleted this from the stamp in early on 1960’s which helps in partial dating. Art did only pipe repair and sales. An unconfirmed report from a pipe maker Milton Kalnitz from the same era stated that the later pipe may have been made by Weber. Paul Fisher was part of the unrelated family in Boston Mass. The Buffalo shop started about 1890,s. Source of info was personal contact with family.

Flamidor

Flamidor is a French lighter company that apparently either made pipes, or had pipes made for them under their name.
Information From benzinaky.com:
The company was founded in France by an Italian emigrant, Janvier Quercia, a direct descendant of Michelangelo teacher Jacopo della Quercia. From 1890 Janvier Quercia engaged in a successful trade of religious articles made of precious metals in France.
 
When Carl Auer von Welsbach invented flint, Quercia patented several lighters of silver on the principle of "eternal matches". In 1908 he constructed his first lighter sparking wheel, which he named Flamidor. In 1911 he introduced the Briquet Parisien model, a lighter with a hinged lid (30 years before Zippo). Briquet Parisien lighters were made of beautifully processed silver or gold during the war and also nickel and other less expensive metals. It is one of the best lighters ever made, using a simple system, yet with the possibility to control it with one hand. Beautiful design, fine materials and perfect finish.

Flemming Jakobsen

<revive zone="18" align="right" caption="A selection of Flemming Jakobsen pipes is available at CIGARWORLD, a new Pipedia Underwriter" />
Flemming Jakobsen, born in 1957, has been making pipes since 2012. He is based in Svendborg, which puts him in good company. The pipe-making legends Tao, Poul Ilsted and Manduela also come from this charming town with 27,000 inhabitants.
Incidentally, one of the most important employers in Svendborg is Mac Baren, for whom Flemming works professionally as a tobacco tester.
Flemming Jakobsen's pipes have an unmistakable "Svendborg style", and you can clearly see borrowings from Ilsted or Tao. He is particularly fond of Bulldogs, Rhodesians and Facets. At the same time, his pipes are on a level of craftsmanship that is second to none.
For what is offered, the pipes are also available at an excellent price-performance ratio. Connoisseurs say "still", because his pipes experience an extremely positive echo in the USA, China and Japan.
All pipes have no filter drilling and a handcut mouthpiece made of Cumberland or black ebonite.
The pipes are stamped "Jakobsen Piben/ Handlavet/ Danmark". Courtesy of CIGARWORLD.de>"

Florov Pipes

From Alex's Website:
I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia.
For a long time I worked in the museum of antique furniture as a restorer. I learned a lot about wood as a material and how to bring it to the perfectly desired shape. At the same time, I learned how to operate some machinery and how to work with other materials such as plastics, stone and metal.
After I moved to the USA in 1992, I have been working as a model maker and prototype designer for a number of premier model making companies. Working with modeling wax, plastic composites and 3-D computer design, I realized how much I missed holding pure wood in my hands. My experiences throughout growing up and my skills have come to the level where I feel confident to complete any project that I set my mind on.
Over the years I developed my unique style of designing wood pieces, which incorporates with the nature of wood and my vision on how to increase the beauty of Mother Nature's creations. 
My father-in-law, A.A.Slonim, dared me to carve a pipe for him. Soon after I started carving more and more pipes for myself, friends and relatives in the USA and in Russia and discovered that my pipes attracted the attention of other pipe smokers. 
In all my pipes I use the best materials available to me and the designs and shapes come from my vision and imagination. 
My goal is to bring the beauty of the wood through the pipe and deliver the joy of smoking it.
My highest grade for a pipe is Elephant Slonim. In Russian, Slon means elephant.

Flávia Rodrigues

thumb|Flávia RodriguesFlávia Rodrigues began pipe making as an experiment, motivated by a need to create, a love for nature, and the support of her partner, Gustavo Cunha of Martelo pipes. Gustavo provided instruction, taught Flávia how to use all the tools of pipe making and demonstrated how to improve her technique and engage her creativity in briar. Influenced as well by such carvers as Tom Eltang, Hans "Former" Nielsen, Becker, and Chris Asteriou, whose exploration of form and proportion continue to inspire her, Flávia currently gravitates more often to traditional shapes with Danish pipe-making cues, incorporating native accent materials such as horn, Brazilian jabuticaba, and precious metals. She has been experimenting with Freehands, as she believes her own culture may be better reflected in forms free of traditional structure, and we may be seeing more new and fascinating shapes emerging from Brazil.

Ford

Ford Motor Company had a number of reputable pipe makers produce promotional tobacco pipes for them between 1930-1960. These pipes are truly a piece of American history. BBB was just one of a number of pipe makers that made pipes for Ford Motor Co. that were to be distributed at Car shows and other promotional events between 1930-1950. Kriswill, Georg Jensen, and Comoy's are some of the other pipe makers to create promotional pipes for Ford Motor Company.

Fortnum & Mason

Fortnum & Mason, the famed London department store in operation since 1707, has among countless other products sold its own line of pipes. One of the most notable was Fortnum's Windward, a "hurricane" type pipe with a built in swiveling windcap. The pipe was made following the design of Frederick Hudes, who received a patenthttps://patents.google.com/patent/US2135179 for the pipe in the U.S. numbered 2135179 in 1938.

Foundation

Massimo Musicò began producing Foundation brand pipes after the end of the Becker & Musicò pipes, with pipes made by Gian Gamboni, Flavio Benucci, and Fabio Marchese. They were largely sold only through the Musicò pipe shop in Rome. Musicò also collaborated with master blender Hans Wiedemann from HU Tobacco to produce the Foundation by Musicò pipe tobacco line. Foundation pipes were priced, according to the Musicòs, not in relation to their pipemaking experience, but only the raw cost of materials and the cost of labor, showing an intent to provide a quality pipe at a fair price.
In 2005, the Musicòs changed the line of pipes from Foundation to Foundation Club, and numbered each pipe with two digits showing the number of years since the 2005 founding of the line and a 5 denoting that 2005 date, with the intention to change to 3 digits, i.e. 105, in 2015 on the tenth anniversary of the line. The pipes also bear the initials of the designer, either GM, MM, FM, FL, or others.
The Becker & Musicò pipe shop was located at Via S. Vincenzo 29, Rome, just off the square from the crowds at the Trevi Fountain. The shop has been closed (for a couple of years), and now Giorgio Musicò (Massimo's son) has moved to Ivrea (TO) in the north of Italy to stay with his parents. He likely has a workshop there, but apparently nobody knows where it is.
