Trypis Pipes
Quoting Stefan Seles: "Phillip Trypis has been a pipe maker in Canada for well over 40 years. Originally from Greece, his experience ranges from cutting burls in a briar mill to making litterally thousands of pipes out of his home in the hamlet of Oakwood, Ontario. Brigham pipes benefitted from Phillip's skills where he worked for a number of years. There he directed the pipe production of the company when it was producing over 50,000 a year. Even though he left to start his own pipe shop, he still imported briar and turned tens of thousands of bowls for Brigham not to mention produce a large number of his own branded pipes.
Just over a year ago, Phillip had a serious fall and although he is back making pipes, he is unable to travel around to sell them as he once did. He has asked me to help him in that effort.
The pipes listed below are some of his best work made from decades old MF and R ebuchaums as well as some recently purchased Italian plateaux. The prices are excellent, especially given the age and quality of the briar used. In fact, I would venture to say that these pipes have no peers, especially below the $100.00 price. You must be the judge.
Many of the styles are traditional in form although Phillip has a number of freehand styles that are both familiar and off the beaten path. The vast majority of the higher priced pipes are very large pieces to be sure."

Tsalagi Pipes

American made pipes, with a Native American heritage. All Tsalagi pipes are one of a kind & hand made here in the United States using the finest plateau briar from the Mediterranean and native woods from the US. Tsalagi maintains a strict tradition of using no fills. 
In the tradition of the original pipe makers...
Tsalagi Pipes are the creation of blues recording artist Iron Mike Norton, who draws from his Cherokee heritage in producing hand made pipes. Influenced and in some cases mentored by Thomas Cristiano, Bill Feuerbach III and Randy Wiley, Mike has a unique and quickly recognizable style. Many of his creations utilize native American wood shank adornments and turquoise inlays."

Tschan

After Josef Brunner (later Bru-Bu) the second pipe factory in Kleinluetzel was founded by Moritz Tschan in 1892. Kleinluetzel became the most important Swiss place of pipe production called "Saint-Claude of Switzerland". 
Later walking sticks together with other wood goods were also manufactured there. In the best times the enterprise had appr. 10 workers. The production ended in the early 1990's. The current owner in 4th generation, Bruno Tschan, continued to sell off the stock and showed around occasional visitors of what was now called Pipe Museum Kleinluetzel.
On 28.06.2004 Tschan, production of and trade with pipes and sticks, was struck off the trade register rolls.

Tsutomu

Fukashiro Tsutomu is a Tokyo homed pipemaker. His brand "Tsutomu" is widely known and well-respected in Japan due to his larger output of appr. 600 - 700 pipes per year. So Tsotumo san's pipes are much more on the spot than Satou or Tokutomi with their very limited production. What differs him furthermore is the fact that he covers a much broader price spectrum. Though he makes high-grade pipes, his prices start at a level affordable to a wide public with the less expensive pipes predominating. The bulk of his pipes are marketed and sold by his brother, who operates one of Japan's biggest pipe shops.
Tsutomu's sense of style is strongly a very Danish one - in fact, not knowing the carver many would surely suppose to hold a Danish rather than a Japanese pipe in hands! Some of his models strictly refer to the Danish "reformed shapes" from the 1960's. - Outside of Japan Tsotomu's pipes are hardly seen though attempts were made to introduce them to the US market some years ago. Maybe, because they don't look Japanese enough?
Beside the "Tsutomu" brand there is also a "Fukashiro" named line of pipes. Among them a range of pipes finished in the famous Japanese lacquer painting technique. Tsutomu is also reported to have made an affordable line of pipes under the Roland brand.

About The Pipemaker (from Simeon's website)
I purchased my first pipe at Davidoff of London on Saint James Street when I was 17. I was visiting England, and I wanted to take home a memento that was "English." In my mind authors like Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, along with characters like Sherlock Holmes, all represented my idea of "English," and all seemed inextricably linked with pipe smoking, so I grabbed an "English" looking pipe from the seconds basket in the Davidoff showroom, paid 15 pounds sterling for it, and went on my merry way.
I was not a smoker, and I had no intention of ever actually using the pipe, but at a friend's insistence I decided to give it a try. That first smoke was a lesson in humility, but I was stubborn enough to keep pursuing it. My stubborness paid off as I came to understand the simple pleasure a pipe can provide.
Years later, my pipe collection has grown dramatically (as has my understanding of the British), but I still treasure my first pipe with great fondness. It is a Willmer economy-line pipe, and it makes regular appearances in my normal smoking rotation, as well as inspiring my Traveler Series of pipes, as I always bring it with me whenever I travel abroad.
While working as a high school English teacher I began to dabble in pipe making for the first time. As a teacher I had access to the school's extensive woodshop, and I began to learn the basics. I started with a pre-drilled pipe kit, and over time I acquired a rudimentary understanding of the craft.
I am no longer a teacher and no longer have access to the equipment of the school's facility. Instead, I now use the tools I have collected in my own workshop, nestled in the basement of my home in Denver, Colorado. As my shop has expanded, so have my crafting skills, and now I produce pipes that I am confident to stamp my name on and offer to my clients.
I truly believe that a fine pipe is special; it is an heirloom that can be passed down with a story that lasts beyond ourselves. I do not take for granted the opportunity I have to share my work with my customers. Whether my pipe is a minor addition to an already impressive collection, or a first pipe to be treasured above all others, I am grateful for the opportunity to play a part in my clients' stories.

Turning Tenons

The basis for the following article was written by Tyler Lane for his website, and is used by permission.
Turning tenons is the area of pipe making that allows for the least amount of error. One must be very precise and accurate with tenon turning in order end up with a well fit stem. Tenon diameter variances of hundredths of an inch have a HUGE impact on the tightness of the fit between tenon and mortise. This is why it is typical to turn tenons with a metal lathe. A metal lathe can turn to very precise diameters. For example, my Taig is capable of accuracies of 5/10,000 of an inch! Not bad for a $400 lathe!
Actually turning the tenon is rather obvious if you are familiar with the use of a metal lathe. Rather than going through a step-by-step explaination of the process like I have in other areas of the site, I will list some pointers that are helpful in the process.
Always keep your cutting tools sharp! I don't think I can emphasize this enough. In order to make clean, smooth cuts, that are almost polished as they are cut, you must have a sharp cutting tool. I use a HSS cutting tool, and I need to resharpen it with every stem I make.
For the nicest cuts, set the lathe to turn at its fastest speed. Unlike drilling, turning does better when the RPM is higher.
Use calipers to assess how close you are getting to the desired diameter. You will want to stop about 3 or 4 thousanths before your final diameter so that you can polish the tenon with some sand paper. (If you have a sharp enough cutting tool, the need for this is minimized.) I usually hit the tenon with some 400, 600, and 800 paper with the speed of the lathe set very slowly. I then polish the tenon with adab of beeswax by gently bumping the spinning tenon with the wax. I then friction polish the tenon by squeezing the tenon with a clean rag. The wax polishes the stem nicely, and I can see if my surface is sufficiently smooth.
Ultimately, each block of briar is a bit different and will not drill identically to the ones before it. Though you know the approximate diameter you will need your tenon, alway use the actual mortise it is to be used in as a final guide. Do this check WITHOUT removing the stem/rod from the lathe. Once the stem/rod is removed from the lathe you will never get it back in precisely as it was before. With the stem/rod in slightly differently, you will need to turn off a relatively large amount of material to get the tenon round and true along its new axis. If you were almost to your desired diameter, there is a chance you will not have the material available to do this, and you will end up with an out-of-round tenon. When you check the fit in the mortise, you want it to be a tight fit. As you continue to work with the pipe, for reasons that are currently a mystery to me, the stem will loosen slightly. BE CAREFUL with thin shanks, I have cracked more than one shank trying to force and overly tight stem into a mortise.
Here is a video of me turning a tenon. It is a Widows Media file, and includes me describing the process as I go along.

Uhle's

=== History ===
Uhle Tobacco Company was founded in 1939 by John H. Uhle. The original location was at 232 W. Michigan St. in downtown Milwaukee, just two blocks from our present location. Mr. Uhle often sat in the front window of the store repairing pipes and hand blending pipe tobaccos for his customers. In the 1950’s Mr. Uhle developed a wholesale business by selling his tobaccos and pipes to appointed agencies throughout the Midwest. This has grown and is still a big part of our business today. Later in that decade, he moved to our present location on Wisconsin Avenue, the heart of downtown.
In February 1982, Mr. Uhle sold his business to two of his employees, Jim and Jeff Steinbock who have dedicated themselves to keeping the Uhle tradition alive. The brothers excel at customer service and are very knowledgeable in all aspects of the tobacco business. In 2006 Jim retired from the tobacco industry to pursue other ventures, in a warmer climate.
The retail store was expanded in 1996 to 1600 square feet. The store was completely remodeled to include a comfortable smoking lounge with leather furniture, humidified lockers for customer storage, a well-stocked room for our vast array of pipes, tobaccos, and accessories, and expanded cigar display featuring a huge selection of premium cigars.
Uhle’s has a staff of dedicated professionals who are on hand to share their wealth of knowledge and to make you, the customer, feel welcome.
Over the years, Uhle’s has been the recipient of many awards and has customers all over the world. We are members of the Retail Tobacco Dealers of America, Milwaukee Metropolitan Association of commerce, Milwaukee Better Business Bureau, and Milwaukee Westowne Association.
=== Owner ===
Mr. Jeffery A. Steinbock- President
Jeff started his career at Uhle’s in 1974 working part time while attending the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He became a full time Uhle’s employee in 1976, and under the guidance of Jack Uhle, soon mastered the art of blending the Uhle’s pipe tobacco. He became store manager in 1979 and when he and his brother bought the business, took on the job of Vice President. With over 30 years in the business, Jeff has developed an extensive knowledge of pipes, pipe tobacco, and cigars. In fact he has taken what he has learned from Jack Uhle and E. Andrews and has created the J.S pipe that has been a big seller for our store. Married in 1975, Jeff and his lovely wife have four children and three grandchildren. He is a champion muskie fisherman, maker of guitars, and he and his wife enjoy ballroom dancing

Ulmer Maserholzpfeifen

[[Image:Ulmer kloben ungarnkopf.jpg|thumb|top: Ulmer Kloben, bottom: Ungarnkopf.The bowls of the two pipes are made of curled wood. The stems and shanks are turned from wood. The lids and decorative fittings are made of brass. Courtesy Heimatmuseum Waldstetten[CC BY-NC-SA]]]
The term Ulmer Maserholzpfeifen (Ulmer burl wood pipes)I'm not sure how to translate the term "Maserholz" exactly. I found burl wood and curled wood as well. Maybe some native speaker can sed some light into this. covers the production of pipes from the root wood of different tree species (elm, ash, alder, birch, maple, etc.) in UlmUlm is a city in the south of Germany. as well as in the extensive area around the city. The oldest archival document from 1695 does not come from Ulm itself, but from Geislingen.
A distinction is made between two basic forms, the so-called "Ulmer Kloben"These translations are quite rough! Although being german I never heard the word "Kloben" before but have found that it's a middlehigh-german word for "Holzklotz" which can be translated as wooden block. (Wooden Block from Ulm) with a ridge that widens on the underside of the pipe head, and the Ungarnform (Hungarian Form) or Ungarnkopf (Hungarian Head) with a narrow, high pipe head that is always higher than the pipe neck. The pipe bowls were particularly enhanced by elaborate fittings, lids and chains made of silver. The extent of production is almost impossible to grasp, as the trade was not organized in a guild and was often only practiced as a sideline.From the summary of Rainer Immensacks article "Ulmer Maserholzpfeifen", http://helene-bonn.info/AK/h17.htm#imm
These pipes were made since the end of the 17th centuryhttps://www.sammeln-sammler.de/tabakpfeifen/ or from 1733 onhttp://www.woffenbach.de/pfeifenclub/pfeifentabak.html This source states the end of the 17th century as being the time when building of composite (right word?) pipes began..

United States

Like the rest of modern American culture, American pipe making is heavily influenced by the European schools, although Asian aesthetics, at least as they play out in pipes, have also become a notable influence. In particular, the Italian, English, and French schools, with their traditional shapes, have formed the basis for the work of many American pipe makers who have pored over collections of old Dunhills, Barlings, GBDs, Costellos, Savinelli's, etc.. Many of these shapes were well established by the 1920s. Others are heavily influenced by the makers of Danish high grade pipes, who have likewise been influenced by their mentors, the fathers of the Danish freehand movement of the 1950's and '60s. 
A new generation of American pipe makers have emerged. Many have made the trek to high grade pipe mecca to study with the master carvers. They have brought back an entire school of technique and aesthetic and made it their own. Others combine the traditional and freehand styles in a unique combination. Regardless of their influences, many of these American pipe makers are pursuing pipe making with a tremendous passion and energy, and an individual spirit, not unlike the one that molded the country.

University

University Pipes are a brand distributed by Pipesandcigars.com.
University is also a series by Comoy's.
File:University01.jpg
File:University07.jpg
According to Pipes & Cigars, "The original University Pipes were unfinished pipes that quickly gained a loyal following for their excellent smoking qualities. They were made from vintage briar and had a sweet, neutral taste."
More recently (2015?), Pipes & Cigars received a batch of decades-old pipes from France, of naturally-finished Algerian briar, and had them stamped "University Deluxe." The pipes are fitted with vulcanite stems and come in three styles: Hex Panel, Standard Billiard, and Lovat. The University Deluxe pipes are described by Pipes & Cigars as being reminiscent of their "late lamented University pipes."
Urquiza

Juan Pablo Urquiza loved the way pipe smoke smelled and began collecting and refurbishing old pipes as a hobby. One year later he made my first pipe out of cherrywood. One year later he made his second pipe out of olive. Online forum friends liked that second pipe and ordered about five of them, which motivated Urquiza to make pipes out of different types of wood, including rosewood, olive, and briar. 
Up until March, 2015, 95 percent of Juan Pablo's work was done by hand, shaping pipes using files only. While taking longer than using a lathe he enjoyed seeing the finished product and knowing that most of it was accomplished using only hand tools. Now, though his production is still limited, in order to produce more pipes he also uses a lathe.

Welcome to my virtual "Pipe World"; which includes my pipe gallery.
I ventured into pipe smoking as a young man during my time at sea when I traveled the world for several years on the last German Training ship in service. As many a young sailor, my pay only afforded me the opportunity to enjoy my tobacco with modestly affordable pieces of briar.
As then, today I find many of the standard shapes very Industrial and I focus my work on pipes that exude my own individuality and some with extra special sex appeal. My
desire to create my own interpretations was hindered by my own lack of self confidence to trust in my unfound skills. That was then and this is now.
I have never worked on a prefabricated shape, as I want to be the mastermind behind the shape that escapes from the block. One shortfall I had was a lack of a mentor, yet I developed my interpretation of many shapes through examination of others works. Then one day my first pipe was shaped from a piece of plateau briar with various tools to include a mouthpiece designed to accept 9mm filters.
The charm of pipe making allows me satisfy high quality technical construction without restricting my creations to any particular shape; allowing individualism to run wild regarding shape and finish.
First and foremost I make pipes for myself as a means of creative release from my day job; while exploring a multitude of open minded shapes. I find special and explicit design wishes restrictive that remove the individuality and charm I focus on instilling in each creation I make.
