Ebenhart's Handmade Pipes

This is not my official website, please visit http://www.ebenharts.co.za 
Ebenhart Botha is a Pipemaker living in the town of Calitzdorp, in the Cape Province of South Africa. He was trained by a German named William Mattner. 
'''
As well as using briar, Ebenhart also makes pipes from local wood such as Combretum Imberbe (Leadwood Tree) & Dalbergia Melanoxylon (African Blackwood or Mpingo).
Briar You Beauty! 
There is no greater pleasure than working with your hands, and I love it! Creating a shape out of the moste beautiful wood in the world is only surpassed by the fact that it is a useable article, and it will be loved by its owner forever... I was trained by William Mattner in 1993,1994,1995 and I still learn every day. I loved smoking a pipe, but was not happy with the way other pipes smoked, so I designed my own filter system. This system prevents a wet smoke, and all you get is a good quality smoke without the harmfull stuff. I concentrate on the practical side of pipes, for that is what they are, a smoking instrument. Every pipe I make will smoke better than anything else you ever owned.
Each shape has a name, and each name is in Afrikaans. Why? Well this is the only country in the world where it is spoken, and thus more than just a smoking instrument. Every pipe is hand engraved, except if you prefer it differently. The shapes are a basic guideline, and variations might occur, therefore making each one unique. Colors are up to you as well, and basically the sky is the limit! 
My latest favorite is purple, and it shows off the grain extremely good. Each pipe carries a one-year guarantee on the bowl, the definition is that it would not crack or burn. All my pipes have either two,three or four dots, made of warthog's teeth (Ivory) and are my grading system. Four is the best I currently have. I have dedicated my life to serve pipe smokers, and pipes is what I do, it is a full time career. Come and visit me in Calitzdorp, or visit my website: http://www.ebenharts.co.za

Ed's Hand Made

Ed's Hand Made pipes were made by Edward Kolpin, Sr., a true legend in the world of pipe smoking. Born Edward August Kolpin March 9, 1910 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Mr. Kolpin began life as a pharmacist working for his father, earning a degree in the field from USC and working at his father's drugstore for 17 years. As he told the tale, however, he hated it, and pipes and tobacco were his way out.
In 1927 Mr. Kolpin converted the soda fountain in his father's drugstore into a smoking bar, and as a hobby analyzed tobacco and sold it to pipe shops. Soon he was making $21.00 a month as a pharmacist and $25.00 selling tobacco, and his choice was clear. Around 1930 later he opened Ed's Pipe Shop on Santa Monica Boulevard. He continued to build that business, but suffered a setback in 1947 with a divorce which left him penniless. Instead of giving up, Mr. Kolpin borrowed enough money to travel overseas, where he began a pipe collection that eventually grew to over 5,000 pieces.
After his return, in 1948, Mr. Kolpin borrowed $2,750.00 and opened his own tobacconist on his family's land on Wilshire Boulevard with the name Tinder Box, built in the style of an old world cottage. The Tinder Box sold Bing Crosby his pipes. George Burns bought his cigars there, and was said to buy $0.99 cigars for himself, and $10.00 stogies for friends. Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Jayne Mansfield, the list goes on.
In 1959, the Tinder Box opened its first franchise in Hawaii, soon to be followed a dozens of others. Mr. Kolpin credited the fast growth with the release of a Surgeon General's report which caused a great many cigarette smokers to turn to pipes as a way to quit. In 1967, however, Mr. Kolpin turned the corporation over to his two sons, Karl and Ed Jr., and they ran the business for five years before selling it to a Canadian conglomerate, which took the chain up to 200 stores by 2007.
Mr. Kolpin, at this time, returned to his roots, and to making Ed's Hand Made pipes. He left the corporate world behind and opened Ed's Original Tinder Box in Santa Monica, on the northwest corner of Wilshire Blvd. and Harvard St.. Pipes produced by Ed's Original Tinder Box were still marked Ed's Hand Made, but instead of a stamp, were hand engraved with the name, and often the year and name of the customer. 
Mr. Kolpin sadly became a broken pipe at 97 years of age in 2007 at his home in Santa Monica, California.

Edward's

Edward’s pipes were originally produced in Saint-Claude, France when Francais actually was a world-class pipe maker with longstanding business & political connections to Colonial Algeria that allowed them to obtain the finest briar. 
During the tumultuous 1960's, Edward’s created a business model to offer the finest briar available in both Classic and Freehand shapes - all at a fair price. They bought the company & equipment and cornered the market on the finest, choice Algerian Briar just before the supply vanished in political turmoil of Algeria's independence. Edward’s packed up both machinery and briar-treasure to America, safely caching the essentials to create a new pipe-making dynasty. This was a coup, for the 70’s and 80’s were grim years for pipe smokers as quality briar all but disappeared.
Edward's Design Philosophy is hard to pin down, think of their style as the "American Charatan" with unique & clever twists all their own. Today, they fashion pipes in several locations across the USA. 
All of Edward's pipes are Algerian Briar - a fact very few pipe companies can claim, and all are oil-cured utilizing natural finishes - no strange concoctions are used to interfere in your tastebud’s dance with the briar. Algerian, Calabrian, Sardinian, Corsican - take your pick, but Algerian Briar is generally considered the finest smoking briar ever used. When combined with oil-curing, Algerian takes on a magical quality that even Alfred Dunhill recognized as far back as 1918 as the choice for both his Bruyere and Shell.
According to Jesse and Scott at Blue Room Briars, recent production Edward's pipes are made for the company by Briarworks (for an indicative model, identical to the latter's Classic saddle Dublin, see left). 
www.otcpipes.com has a nice collection of vintage Edward's pipes along with scans of Edward's catalogs.

Edward's Pipes

Many things in life are caused by coincidence!
 
One day some of my friends and me, took a trip to Graz. We had a look through some shops while wandering through that little town. Suddenly our eyes were caught by the bright shining of a pipe shop. We were fascinated by the amazing contrast of well built pipes surrounded by cold halogen light.
 
We entered the shop. An elderly man, I guess it was the shop owner, realized that we shared his fascination and so we got the chance to undergo a “crash-course for future pipe smokers”. 
That day a handmade Danish Pipe became my favourite one and of course I also bought those supplements you need for smoking a pipe.
 
Back home, I was still buoyed up by the crash-course and I decided to create a pipe, a good pipe, a pipe of my own. I tried to get as much information about building a pipe as possible. I read everything I could find, to give my project a good base.
 
December 2002 I caught up with another pipe maker to get some advice for the practical part of my plan. Initially everything seemed to be super-easy, but soon I had to face many difficulties: Where do I get the equipment I need such as: equipment, a turning bench, other tools, material from???
Initially I had a tough time to organize some shops to get the low amount of the first materials I needed. And it became quite an international project: Acrylic from London, Cumberland from Switzerland, Carnauba wax from Steiermark, briar wood from the Mediterranean area ….
 
The first steps were very expensive ones – I had to learn a lot of things...
 
Finally, I want to thank all of my friends and my sister for their support and for sharing my love (smoking pipes!), my girlfriend for her understanding as it is quite a time-intensive job, the owner of the pipe shop in Graz for discovering my interest. Furthermore I would like to thank Peter Matzhold (for basics) and Raimund Holzer (tool support).

Egloff

Thera isn't much useful information about the pipes of Peter Egloff. The general description of his pipes is "mainly classical and light weighted shapes". 
Image:Egloff_02.jpg|

Anyhow, the Egloff Tobaccobar AG - tobacco shop, production and sale of tobacco pipes and trade with smoker's implements - decided upon dissolution and requested the deletion from the trade register of the Canton of Luzern in May 2007.
The domicile was Burgerstrasse 17, CH - 6003 Luzern.

I am Elie, living and working in France.
There's not that much to be told about me. I'm a mostly self taught pipe maker who is passionate about this art. As you will notice from the images: I don't stick to one style, one material.
I love to work with briar, and sometimes with olive- and strawberry-wood, that I have harvested, cut, selected and dried myself in Portugal.
My emphasis is on form and colour. And quality, of course. Mostly unusual pipes. I'm well known around the world for being the only maker of system- (aluminium body) pipes on an artisan scale, also making bowls and parts for collectors of vintage metal pipes.
About quality : I have 3 grades.
A : Highest grade.
S: Smokers' grade. Very small flaws, hardly noticeable.
R: Reject. In this case, something went wrong, but smoke-wise: OK.

Elliott Pipes

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by Jose Manuel Lopés'
Skip Elliot has made pipes since 1989 in the workshop annexed to his home in Maylene, Alabama. He uses Greek briar and acrlic stems Skip works daily in the The Briary tobacconist's, which he founded in 1974 along with his parents. Today The Brairy is in an old restored country farm house, and has a wide range of pipes, cheroots, and tobaccos available, as well as its own smoking rooms.
From Skip's site: 
I am a retailer that loves pipes and supplements the business by making them. The shape of each pipe is dictated by the grain and or growth rings. Because of this I can not feel comfortable doing special orders. By all means contact me if you want something specific. I can get the information and when the correct piece of briar comes up I will let you know.
Each pipe is a opportunity for me to do something creative. It is hard to decide whether I enjoy the creativity or the feedback from the eventual owner the most.
In a good month I complete about two pipes. At 30-35 hours per pipe there is just so much spare time.
I cut my own stems by hand. Sandblasting is my preferred way of roughing up a pipe but on occasion I rusticate them. No putty will ever be used to fill an imperfection.
My pipes have been enjoyed all over the world. Some were ordered by various customers while others were taken there. One of the more interesting ones was when Dr. Pat Ryan bought two as gifts. He then took them with him on safari in Botswana. One was presented to famous big game hunter Johan Calitz the other was for Tony Makris. Tony has a program "UNDER WILD SKYS AFRICA" that is seen on ESPN2. These guys all sat around the campfire smoking ELLIOTT pipes in the evenings. I just wish I had pictures.
If it is pictures you want please look at PIPE & TOBACCO Spring 2006. Dale Harrison did a great story about my pipes.

Enricoro

The name "Enricoro" is a contraction of his first name Enrico and the word “orologiaio”, his profession, as he’s a clock maker with a master‘s degree. This nickname was created years ago by a befriended pipemaker who was also his source of inspiration to begin to carve pipes. Ingeniously his logo is a clock work bushing made of brass.
Marola is age 48 now, happily married and has two sons. He’s smoking the pipe for thirty years and beside working with briar his biggest passions are his family and long walks in the mountains.
The briar is personally chosen from saw-mills of his trust. As he says, his pipes are made to be smoked and thus they are simple, uncomplicated pipes and not odd objects, one hardly dares to take in his hand. True and reliable companions. To shape his pipes he only uses files, pumice, emery cloth and a lot of passion. The shapes don’t get predefined – Marolo works guided by the inspiration of the moment. He loves and prefers the classic shapes for their functional simplicity but doesn’t omit to give each of them a personal touch. No Enricoro pipe equals another. He doesn’t want to get hooked on standardization and it pleases him to think that each pipe is something like a snap-shop of his work.
The finishes are done using only a light as possible touch of coloring to accentuate the grain and the polishing is done with natural lotions to allow the briar to breathe and provide a sweet and fresh smoke.

Eppers Pipes

My name is Sean Eppers, I am first a husband to my beautiful wife and a father to my two childern. I currently live in Austin, Texas where I serve as a pastor. My passion for pipe making is tied to my love for both God the Creator and His creation. I believe that creation is the process of being renewed and restored to a great creator that loves them. Taking chaos to order, violence to peace, and hate to love. Pipe making mirrors theses great themes, taking something raw and unfinished and creating something of beauty and order. I hope you enjoy.

Eric Weaver

Eric Weaver is the sole owner and producer of SeaSmoke Pipes in Washburn Wisconsin on the shores of Lake Superior. Eric has been making pipes since late 2003 after receiving a pipe kit as a gift from his wonderful girlfriend (now Wife). He has kept himself under the radar for many years selling pipes locally and thru word of mouth. Around 2016 he began offering his work to the larger pipe community. Early work was left unstamped or marked simply with his initials E.M.W. Around 2018 Weaver began selling his pipes under the brand name SeaSmoke Pipes. His current pipes are stamped E.M.W. alongside an outline of Lake Superior. He was interviewed on episode 414 on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show. He has also appeared on numerous Youtube interviews and maintains a youtube channel himself. Weaver enjoys being lost in the woodwork of Northern Wisconsin and is a bit of a hermit. He produces 40-65 pipes a year with most being freehands and his interpretations of the classics. Eric uses briar from Italy, Algeria, and Greece. His stems are hand cut from high grade German ebonite or modified preformed vulcanite depending on the piece. He is self taught for the most part. Weaver is also a studio Potter producing many Cups, Mugs, and bowls every year. He strives to make pipes and pottery that will look at home in his Natural surroundings of Northern Wisconsin.

Erickson

Ken Erickson, freehand pipemaker from Sunland, California remained almost unknown outside the United States and even there his name is familiar to a small number of insiders only. Quite astonishing, because knowledgeful connoisseurs agree that Erickson was an absolute whiz, whose elegant pipes belong to the best, which were ever made in America.
Ken Erickson began to create pipes by the end of the 1960's and died in January of 2003. Posthumously he was honored as "Outstanding American Pipe Maker" at the West Coast Pipe and Cigar Expo in March of 2003.
He started his career in Minnesota, but soon transferred his workshop to Sunland in California. It is reported, that back in the times of the "pipe mailers", when notable pipe dealers in the USA used to instruct their customers by hectographed circulars about new available pipes - among other things - Erickson's pipes sold even faster and at higher prices than those of such icons like Mike Butera or Rick Lewis. Unfortunenately, on the climax of demand for his pipes Erickson, yet at a relatively young age, suffered a heavy heart attack. He abandoned pipemaking instantly. Many years later, appr. since 2000, he returned to his craft and finished some few more pipes from old supplies until his death.
Erickson used no grading. The pipes are engraved with his name (in script) and two digits indicating the year of production.

Ermuri

ERMURI was founded on June 22nd, 1922 by Erhard, Mugler and Rinn in Frankfurt am Main. The first letters of the surname led to the rapid finding of a name for the ERMURI Händlervereinigung e. V. The aim of the joint cooperation between the men was to create independence from existing branded cigars and to operate a market profiling strategy in order to stand out from the strong competition. The ERMURI purchasing cooperative was founded in 1965 and has been called ERMURI Genuss Company eG since 2011.http://shop.ermuri.com/html/de/information/ueber-uns/content.jsp?gid=content90&view=doc&docid=wp242.html
