Gianmarco Ago

About "Ago ≠" pipes:
Pipe ≠ Ago came into being due to a lucky meeting between Gianmarco Ago and skilled craftsmen. From this meeting ≠ Ago was born, a unique line, devoted and reserved, consisting of a few refined items. The ≠ Ago line does not wish to participate in an already saturated market, but desires to be an emblem, limited to the requirements of friends who embrace the art of pipe- smoking, and have become enamored by these small masterpieces reaching out with their shapes, colors and materials to one's inner depths. 
Pipe ≠ Ago is a hymn to the skill of the craftsmen who produce’ them. The aim of ≠ Ago is to make these works of art a moment of thought and aggregation for all, an area of research and of an opportunity to share. The symbol ≠, “different from”, is intended as a synonym of a search for values in a congenial essence in becoming, an expression of diversity in the sense, as it were, of a spiritual and intellectual enrichment.

Gigi

Luigi "Gigi" Crugnola was born in 1934, the same year Giorgio Rovera founded a company in his own name in Varese, Italy along with partners Angelo and Adele Bianchi, who also happened to be Luigi Crugnola's Uncle and Mother, respectively. The company produced pipes for 30 years, largely exported to America and elsewhere in the world. Crugnola took over the company in 1964 with the death of Angelo Bianchi, changing the name soon after to his own nickname Gigi, and continues to run the company today. The vast majority of Gigi pipes continue to be made for export.

Gigliucci pipe

I was born in Follonica, Tuscany, in 1968. I attended the School of Fine Arts in Bologna and at the same time started to move in the Art environment.
My first job was as cabinetmaker and I opened my own restoration workshop in 1999. In 2006 I made my very first briar pipe.
The area I live in (Maremma,south of Tuscany) is very rich in briar, a wood that I knew long before I started making pipes, and I often also know the areas where the briar is extracted from the ground. This makes it even more exciting to follow this subject in the various phases of seasoning and processing.
In the two sawmills I use (Segherie Maremmane and Manno Briar) I always personally choose each plaque to season it in my lab.
The mouthpiece, cut only by hand, is only of ebonite bar, preferring the typical comfort of this material.
Since 2011 I have been able to confront and learn many things from the collaboration with the "Foundation" builders' team of the "Becker & Musicò" Roman store and the attendance of Paolo Becker's workshop, two of the Italian realities where the classical canon and the classic modern (danish), is studied, destructured and reproposed.
I think these are elements that we can find in my work as well as the attention to the general functionality of the pipe: weight, right drilling, balance and quality of materials are essential starting conditions to create a good pipe.
The study of classic shapes is combined with the research of new lines, creating a personal language.
The production is about 150 pieces for years, totally handcarved in my workshop in Caldana(GR) Tuscany.

Gilli

"For twenty years my work, my experience and my passion as repairer in the world of pipes, has allowed me to meet the necessities of the every smoker, collector or just simply a person who is keen on pipes and who wants his pipes to be repaired in a careful and precise way, above all at competitive and estimated prices. As a matter of fact, in my workshop in Turin (Italy) I am capable of doing every kind of repair on your pipes: in particular to substitute old and damaged flocks. Mouthpieces can be replaced with their original models of all the best makes. They are either available in methacrylate or ebonite, (pre-printed or in bars, black and cumberland). The customers who want the best will find precious and exclusive materials like real horn and cultivated amber. Furthermore, I can also restore your meerschaum pipes as well.
Now, after having dedicated years repairing pipes, I have decided to propose some of my own hand-made models. The pipes are made with high quality briar and beautiful mouthpieces made of horn and amber. Originals and unique models are also skilfully worked and your collection cannot miss them."

Gino Tarabella

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes
Gino Tarabella has produced since 1968 and works with another artisan in his workshop. At least some of the resulting pipes are marked "La Fiamma", which translates to The Flame in Italian. 
The following appears to be a video of Gino on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/1258781

Giordano

Giordano Pipe
Domenico Giordano's is a briar cutter, supplying plateaux brair for hand made artisan pipes, as well as ebachon blocks for factory made pipes. He was born in Melito di Porto Salvo in the province of Reggio Calabria May 24, 1941, and lived in Badalucco for more than forty years. Dadalucco is a typical Ligurian hinterland, just a few kilometers from the coast and close to the famous Sanremo.
Domenico's first steps were at the age of twelve at the Family sawmill, Surfaro Gulli 'Melito in Calabria, where he worked for for his father, Giovanni Battista Giordano who was an expert sawyer.
The company closed in the 1950s and Domenico moved with his father goes to work at the Family Create sawmill in nearby San Lorenzo. These were the most prosperous years for the production of pipes. This area of Calabria was full of briar, and large quantities of it were supplied to make pipes around the world. 
Domenico Giordano was an excellent young sawyer, and quickly became one of the best short-cutters in the area. Unfortunately, the factory began to have problems, but the best sawyers looked to new horizons in Liguria, an area also rich in briar. So in the early 1960s he moved to Liguria, where in 1967 he opened his own company.
Domenico also makes pipes as a hobby. Every model is freehand made, the shape being sketched roughly on the block and then following the unique graining of each piece of wood. The prices start at €50.00 and go up to €750.00 for the best pipes which are sometimes sculpted.

Glen Ben Freehand Pipes

Glen Ben Freehand Pipes
Glen Ben Pfeifen werden aus ausgesuchtem Bruyère Plateaux Kannteln gefertigt. Die Mundstücke bestehen zu 100 Prozent aus Ebonit.
Alle Glen Ben Pfeifen sind sehr sauber und aufwändig verarbeitet. Die Pfeifenköpfe erhalten ihre Form an der Schleifscheibe, im Gegensatz zu den Jean Alexis Handmade Pipes.
Glen Ben Pipes werden nur in Freeform Shapes und nicht in klassischen Formen hergestellt. Die Pfeifen werden hauptsächlich (zu ca. 90 %) in glatter Ausführung angeboten. Einige wenige Stücke werden sandgestrahlt. Die Farbpalette der Oberflächen reicht vom warmen Naturton über div. Kontrastbeizungen in schwarz, rot, orange hell oder dunkelbraun. Um die Fehlerfreiheit der Rauchkammern zu demonstrieren, werden die Tabakkammern der Pfeifen naturbelassen und nicht mit Einrauchpaste behandelt. Auf Wunsch jedoch, werden die Köpfe mit Einrauchpaste versehen, was nach der Einschätzung von Richard Baggenstos sicherlich der Pfeife nicht schadet.
Sämtliche Glen Ben Pfeifen sind absolut kittfrei und sehr sauber verarbeitet. Einzelne kleine Spots werden stehen gelassen. Bruyère Holz ist nun mal ein Naturprodukt (genau wie der Mensch und dieser ist auch nicht makellos...). Pfeifen mit mehreren oder grösseren Spots werden von Richard Baggenstos sandgestrahlt. Richard Baggenstos fertigt nicht auf Bestellung oder nach Vorlage, da die Vorstellungen der Kunden oft nicht seinen Vorstellungen entsprechen, zumal er nicht vom Pfeifenbau lebt und sich sonst zu sehr in seiner Kreativität und der Liebe zum Pfeifenbau eingeschränkt fühlt. Der Anteil der von ihm gebauten 9-mm Filter-Pfeifen liegt unter 2%. Richard liebt filterlose Pfeifen. Diese sind einfacher im Gebrauch und sind auch wesentlich pflegeleichter.
Das Grading der Pfeifen reicht je nach Maserung und Fehlerfreiheit von 0-9 Stufen und ist als Zahl unten am Pfeifenholm neben dem Marken Namen eingestempelt.
Preislich bewegen sich die Glen Ben Freehand Pipes in einem Bereich von ca. 400 - 650 Schweizer Franken. Sondermodelle auch ein wenig darüber hinweg. Pro Pfeife werden ca. 15 - 18 Arbeitsstunden aufgewendet, bis die Pfeife versandbereit ist.

GoedeWaagen

Dirck GoedeWaagen became a master pipemaker on January 1, 1779 and took on his first assistant the following month. Soon after Dirck's grandson fell in love with and married a girl from the illustrious De Jong family, legendary in the ceramic pipemakers guild in Gouda. He built a workshop in the Keizerstraat in Gouda, which continued for two generations until his grandson Abraham GoedeWaagen moved the company to a new location.
In 1853, Pieter Goedewaagen purchased his father-in-law's factory "De Star", which becomes the basis of the modern GoedeWaagen company. In approximately 1880, Abraham's grandson Aart GoedeWaagen persuaded his father Pieter to expand the business with an eye towards more models of pipes, and P. GoedeWaagen & Sons was founded in response. Within ten years the firm had hundreds of models and P. GoedeWaagen & Son was exporting pipes around the globe.
GoedeWaagen continued to make pipes, but also began acquiring other ceramics firms, including "De Distel" in 1923, and in so doing acquiring the expertise to make decorated ceramics other than clay pipes. It is at this time that the company is granted a Royal charter and by the 1930's Royal Goedewaagen is one of the top names in dutch ceramics.
While Goedewaagen pipes were originally traditional and figural clays, after the invention of the double walled clay pipe by Zenith, also a Gouda company, Goedewaagen began producing pipes in that commonly seen style, which they marketed as "The Baronite Pipe", advertised for its clean smoking and health benefits. Since the company's bankruptcy in 1982, however, they have made only the occasional souvenir pipe, including a line commemorating Holland's monarchs.

Golden Bull

Golden Bull Tobacconist was founded in 1969 in Old Town San Diego. It was a very small tobacconist, the owner, Geoffrey did some pipe work in his garage. They stamped and hand carved pipes with “Golden Bull”. Golden Bull Tobacconist later became Racine & Laramie when Geoffrey rebuilt the historic firm in the late 1960s. He changed the Golden Bull name to Racine & Laramie in 1974
The Golden Bull pipe shown bellow is a Ben Wade Danish second from Lane Limited that was reworked and branded Golden Bull, courtesy Racine & Laramie Tobacconist:

Golden Horn

Golden Horn was an exporter of meerschaum pipes from Turkey to California. They were the first company to market the work of Ismet Bekler, later of CAO fame. Bekler pipes for Golden Horn were sold in cases which contained a gold foil label stating "Exclusively by Golden Horn Genuine Bekler" over a stylized "G" with a category name below. Some were marked "Beyond Imagination", and others "Imperial Heroes" as shown below.
The Golden Horn is an inlet on the Bosphorus, which forms a peninsula where the old city of Istanbul is located. Golden Horn exported pipes from many carvers, but it is believed that only Mr. Bekler's pipes were signed with his name. The name Golden Horn was never trademarked in the United States, and the name "Bekler" was only trademarked by CAO in 2001, despite importing Mr. Bekler's pipes since 1977. Little else is known about the brand.

Gordon Bilchik Pipes

Gordon Bilchik Pipes was started by Mark Greene in 2002. 
Mark is a native of Idaho, and continues to hand craft his pipes from his workshop in Boise. 
His custom logo is very distinguishable, and his work always bears the stamp in the wood near the stem.
Gordon Bilchik Pipes are each custom made and sold across America.
His copyrighted slogan is "Do you have to smoke a Pipe to be a Man? No. But it sure helps."
Gourvelos, Kostas

Inspired forms,
gently revealed,
 
with neat synergy.
All that is in a pipemaker's mind...
Kostas started making pipes from the years he was a student. He encountered problems with tongue byte and trying to solve it he invent his "Aspida".
He made a few pipes for him and friends, but he really got involved with pipemaking when members from Greek pipeclub approached him.
After some years he made the year pipe for the club...
----
"Every single item is a piece of art and soul.
Becomes a masterpiece when in touch with Aspida".
Aspida (a Greek word that means "shield"), consists of a small aluminum insert fitted between the pipe bowl and mouthpiece, able to accept a normal filter.
On the nose tip there is a vertical flat surface, where the hot smoke steam hits against and so acts as a:
Smoke cooler - Excellent natural multi-filter - Moisture trap - Humidity regulator
		
Life care ...for life!

Goussard Pipes

thumb|200pxthumb|leftthumb|200pxthumb|200pxthumb|leftGoussard Pipes Website My name is Charl Goussard and me and my wife live in Cape Town, South Africa. My first year at university I ended up with a smoker as a roommate. At that stage I didn't smoke at all, and actually hated the smell. So my poor friend was forbidden from smoking in the room. One day we were chatting about smoking, when I told him that I'll never smoke cigarettes, but maybe pipe, because at least it smells nice. So, off my friend went and duly bought himself a pipe so that he could smoke in the room. That was the start of my fascination with pipe smoking. Needless to say, we are still the best of friends! That is, me and pipes, and me and my dear friend, Andreas!
Ever since the very first pipe I made, I fell in love with the art of pipemaking. I'm sure my wife will tell you that I eat, sleep and drink pipes! It is a wonderful experience to create something graceful, flowing and beautiful from a block of wood. The result never fails to astonish me.
I hope you will enjoy my pipes as much as I enjoyed making them, and that it will become as good a friend as me and my first year roommate!

Gray Mountain Pipes

From site Gray Montain Pipes
== History ==
Mark Gradberg, owner and creator of Gray Mountain Pipes, comes from a family that has been involved with fine craftsmanship for many years.	
The name Gradberg means Gray Mountain in Swedish, or so Mark’s grandfather told him years ago. There is lighthearted controversy in the family that the name really means Grand Mountain or even that the word berg refers to a town or village, but Mark says that if Gray Mountain was good enough for his grandfather, it’s good enough for him. Whatever the case, the name Gradberg has meant fine craftsmanship for generations. From fine finish carpentry and cabinet making to stone masonry and miniature coach building, the Gradberg family has adhered to the belief that name and reputation are synonymous with the quality of work produced. Mark has spent much of his life producing intricate miniature wood models for HO-scale model railroading. 
In 1995, he decided to try his hand at carving his own freehand pipe. This led to a new hobby of carving freehands for himself, family, and friends. He began to receive requests and inquiries from fellow pipesmokers and pipeshop owners who showed great interest in his creations.
In 1999, a disability forced Mark to stop working and this became his opportunity. He could turn his dreams to reality by working for himself and carving one-of-a-kind wood sculpture freehand pipes that would grow in appeal as the years passed.
Editor's note: Mark Gradberg passed away in 2018. The contact information below should be treated purely as a record.
