Peter Pfeifenbau

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes
Roman Peter is the brand and name of the Swiss artisan born in Zurich in 1963. A qualified furniture artisan, Roman is also a trained restorer of English and Oriental antiques. He started making pipes part-time in 1985, and restores all brands in the most varied materials (wood, clay, porcelain, meerschaum, horn and amber, among others), using the appropriate original techniques. In 1993 he opend his own shop, Peter Tabakwaren -- with a great variety of pipes and tobacco, where he also has his workshop.
He makes classics and freehands with briar from Greece and Italy, and ebonite stems. Roman makes about 50 freehands a year, which sometimes have highly original shapes. "In my workshop, small works of art are born, but also classic shapes, always with the best quality briar", he says. The brand is only sold in his shop.
Peter took part in various exhibitions betwen 1987 and 1992. Stamp: R.P.
Roman Peter operates a pipe and tobacco shop and is authorised repairer to more than 200 other pipe retailers. As a pipemaker he works exclusively with briar purchased from Italy and Greece. He has an affectation for what he calls "organic" forms. Beside the traditional shapes he offers more sculptural pipes with quite extravagant designs. Peter's freehands are tagged with a white ring made of antilope bones and bear the artisan's signatur on the bottom of the shank.

Peter Piper

The Peter Piper trademark was first applied to a pipe in 1925, and granted on June 1, 1926 to Cadogan France Limited, whose offices were in London. Despite this, the pipe was made at the Marechal Ruchon factory in Saint-Claude, France. And, despite this, as the pipe was often stamped with London nomenclature. An excellent example of how blurred international borders became where Oppenheimer and Cadogan were involved. For more information see GBD.

Peter Rohrbach

Peter Rohrbach ("Pit").
1953 – Düsseldorf – goldsmith and pipe maker.
Sure, there are more important things in life: my wife, sailing and old cars.
It's still, however, always fascinating to combine precious wood with my profession.
Unfortunately, the briar blanks I choose myself in Tuscany only suffice to produce one or two pipes a month. 
Given this excellent wood grain, it makes sense to apply gold or silver here. 
It's best I smoke the pipes with spots myself.
I therefore grade using silver and gold. For pipes with an outstanding grain I envisage a diamond trim – or maybe platinum?. The possibilities are infinite …
I hope that you too will succumb with fascination to the combination of artistic goldsmith craftsmanship and Nature.

Ph. Vigen

From "The History of Danish Pipes" by by Jakob Groth
Jes Phillip Vigen Gertsen (artistic name: Ph. Vigen) is one of Denmark’s relatively unknown high grade pipemakers. In long periods he has made individual pipe maker pipes for other names, including today. He is presently making the top line of Bjarne pipes in his southern Denmark based rural work shop. Born in ’53 he started to work in W.Ø. Larsen work shop with Former as his primary teacher. When the Larsen work shop closed Ph. Vigen had to find work elsewhere and Svend Bang, who felt a strong demand for the S. Bang pipes, hired him to work with Ulf and Per. It didn’t really work out. So after 1.5 years he was employed by Pipe Dan to work in there work shop after Tom Eltang. 
His primary job in Pipe Dan’s work shop was to do all the pipe repairs, but he also made 8-10 pipes every month. These pipes were – typical to Pipe Dan – stamped with Ph. Vigens own name and the name of the shop. He stayed with Pipe Dan until the shop closed in 1991. After Pipe Dan he tried to establish him self as independent, individual pipemaker, but this was a quite tough period with declining demand for high grade pipes on many markets.
From "Scandinavian Pipemakers", by Jan Anderson 
"About a year after starting his own independent operation Vigen started to work for Bjarne Nielsen, making his High Grade pipes, an arrangement that suited Vigen extremely well. Now he could concentrate on pipe-making and did not have to bother with marketing, which he hated. The disadvantage was that his pipes were stamped with Bjarne's name, not his own, but that did not bother Vigen at all. He had no desire to be known artistically and was completely content in knowing that his pipes were appreciated.
When Bjarne died in 2008 and the business was closed, Vigen stopped making pipes. He did not want to deal with marketing once more, so he preferred to do something else. A lot of admirers of his pipes are sorry about that and, hopefully, he will reconsider his decision in the future."

Philipp Lang

thumb|Philipp Langthumb|Philipp Lang at the lathe
Living in the City of Königstein on the outskirts of Frankfurt, Philipp has been making pipes since the early 1990s. Inspired by his grandfather smoking a pipe in his garden, Philipp started making his first pipe at the age of 16 in his father's workshop. His first pipe making supplies were bought from Rainer Barbi and Bjarne Nielsen.
Nowadays, Lang's briar is hand selected and sourced directly from saw mills, predominantly in Italy and Spain. Some pieces are made from the legendary Corsican briar dating back to 1984 (he has about 200 blocks still in stock). The quality of the grain is the nucleus of his continuous strive for excellence. Mouthpieces are handcut ebonite, Cumberland or artificial amber. Pipes are exclusively made by hand with a quantity of approx. 30 pieces per annum. The majority are smooth, with sandblasts fairly rare, and no rustication.
Applications are mammoth ivory, amber, horn, silver, gold, bamboo and precious woods.

Pibe-Dan

The House of Pibe-Dan was founded in Copenhagen in May, 1943, and was named for H. Dan-Christensen, nicknamed Pibe-Dan. Pibe-Dan (Pipe-Dan) unfortunately closed in 1991, but during the 48 years it was in business it was the ultimate place to find pipes by Danish masters. 
Pibe-Dan published its first catalog in the late 1950's and, as was the case with W.O. Larsen, published it in English given their international customer base. While they sold pipes by Stanwell, Kriswill, Brakner and others, the classic pipe sold from Pibe-Dan was the Dan Shape-Reformed Pipe, which had a very tall vertical bowl, and were hand made of Corsican briar. Pibe-Dan claimed that the design was longer, drier, cooler and more even smoking. The Shape-Reformed was available in various lines including the Danois, Standard, Champion, Half Chimney and others. 
At the same time, Pibe-Dan had a long history of also including pipes by Danish artisans in their catalog. Sixten Ivarsson's Peewit, Oliphant, Ukulele and other shapes first appeared in Pibe-Dan's catalog, and other artists who either began with or sold through Pibe-Dan include, among many others, Hans Hartmann, Gert Holbek, Sven Knudsen, Tom Eltang, Arne Nygaard, P. Holtorp, Poul Hansen, and Ph. Vigen, among others. The legendary Preben Holm sold pipes to the Pibe-Dan shop before his sixteenth birthday in 1963, and soon after was selling twenty to thirty pipes a week to the company, with Pibe-Dan setting the prices. This relationship continued until 1968.

Pierluigi

Made by hand in Rome, Italy the Mastro Beraldi brand is crafted by the Pierluigi family using artisan techniques and economy of scale. The bowls are not fraised using templates, but instead are turned completely by hand- one by one. Mouthpieces are made of molded vulcanite which is then hand-finished inside and out to insure a smooth draw when the pipe is smoked. In addition each tenon is made of Teflon, insuring against breakage if the pipe is knocked about.
Aldo Pierluigi has been making pipes since the early 70's (perhaps some of you old-timers remember the Pierluigi brand), and has constantly refined his skills to where today he and his family can produce a great pipe at a great price. Aldo Pierluigi is one of the hardest workers in the pipe business putting in more than 12 hours a day, seven days a week.

Piersel Pipes

Piersel is the maker of Piersel pipes. She participates actively at Pipemakersforum.org, and has also worked with noted Kansas City pipe restoration specialist, George Dibos (Precision Pipe Repair). Scottie states that, "Quality, classic shapes are where my focus lies. I try to stay true to tradition while giving each pipe a little bit of my personality. Clean lines, perfect proportions and flawless drilling are what I strive for and what you can expect from every pipe that leaves my shop. Although I believe form must follow function I endeavor to offer a perfect fit and finish and to make each piece stunningly beautiful."
From Scottie's website, Ladybriar.com:
"My pipe making journey began when my husband decided to take up pipe smoking. I ordered a pipe kit from Mark Tinsky to carve a pipe for Father's Day. Little did I know how quickly I would become hooked. As soon as I finished that first pipe I had to make another. Over the next few months I purchased as many tools and supplies as possible and off I went. With the guidance and support of the fellows at the Pipes Maker's Forum I quickly found what needed to be refined with each pipe I made." 
Peirsel pipes are handcrafted from Mediteranian Plateaux Briar and hand cut stems from either German Ebonite or Brindle.

Piet Binsbergen

Website
Pieter Binsbergen (BA Fine Arts cum laude, MA painting, University of Pretoria) is a seasoned art instructor. In 1993 he became Head of the Department of Visual Art at the Pretoria Boys High School. In 2007 he was appointed Course Co-Ordinator for Arts Education in the Faculty of Education at the University of Pretoria. He won several awards amongst others the ABSA Bank award for his contributions to the visual arts and art education. He was a finalist in both the ABSA Atelier and Sasol New Signatures art competitions and later also acted as member of the panel of judges for major art competitions. He is an acclaimed artist with a record of 14 hugely successful solo exhibitions. His works are included in public and private collections in South Africa and abroad. Some of them are hosted by corporations in Finland, America and England.
It is through his love for art that he discovered a passion for the briar some twenty years ago whilst at work in the studio. It was easier to clench a pipe as it becomes a hands-free exercise. After building a covered patio on the side of his house three years ago, and being gifted a Savinelli for Christmas by his wife, the briar pipe ventured outdoors. Whilst smoking on the patio Pieter decided to persue this passion with more vigour.
Having befriended David Peterson of "The Virtual Smoking Lounge" in Michigan, USA the two of them became close friends. David Peterson introduced Pieter to the world of pipe restoration and repair. Pieter spent two years in his spare time collecting old pipes from family members, friends and antique markets putting the theory of pipe craft and restoration into practise. He has since joined forces with Jean du Toit aka the ‘illustrious Jan Pietenpauw’ (the best pipe carver to come out of South Africa to date) who taught him all there is to know about pipes and pipe craft including spinning briar and pipe stems in a lathe. His success in the world of pipe restoration is largely owed to close bond and friendship he has forged with Jean du Toit.
A turning point came when Pieter’s Father gifted him a Myford ML7 lathe and turned his workshop in to a full restoration business.
Since then he has worked for some of the largest pipe collectors in the country.

Pipa Croci

Pipa Croci pipes are created by Paolo & Gianni Croci from Mantova, Lombardia. The company was founded in 1983 and on each pipe you will find the nomenclature reads "dal 1983". Each and every pipe is hand crafted from aged Italian Plateau Briar. This is a company that makes no two pipes alike and they truly create some masterpieces. In their own words:
"The Pipa Croci is an artisan enterprise. The pipes which are born from our hands are all differnt from each other. This means that the owner of a Croci pipe possesses something totally unique. Keeping up with the avant-garde in styling and marketing, in addition to our Free Hand we have created the Classical Models. Furthermore we produce several hand-carved objects related to the pipe smoker and made of briar."
The quality classification of the pipes is as follows (ascending): Pipa Croci; Amica; True; True 1; Quality Street; Starlight; Golden Flame.
So the "Pipa Croci" is the least expensive and the "Gold Flame" the most costly, but the most exceptional. The classification takes place in a careful and accurate manner and the criteria for these choices are form, character of the briar and beauty of its grain. 
The pipes are divided into groups according to their design; these groups or series have been given the following names: Normale; Artistica; Gran Camino; Gran Camino Artistica; Calumet; Calumet Artistica; Calumet Gran Camino; Calumet Gran Camino Artistica; Calumet 2000; Calumet 2000 Artistica; Calumet 2000 Gran Camino; Calumet 2000 Gran Camino Artistica.
The Classical models are hand-made reproductions of the traditional shapes. These well-known shapes have the following letter-number references: Billiard = A1; Apple = F1; Dublin = H1, etc.
All pipes are made of "plateau" pieces of briar. The annual production is ca. 3,000 pieces.
In 2003 a limited edition of 150 pipes was released to celebrate the 20th anniversary. ...and in 2008?
Their grading, is acending order: Pipa Croci, Amica, True, True I, Quality Street, Starlight, Golden Flame.
