Thorsten Feitt

<revive zone="20" align="right" caption="Pfeifen Shop Online (a new Pipedia Underwriter) has a selection of Thorsten Feitt Pipes" />Thorsten Feitt, a native of Saarland, has been living and working in Ostallgäu (Bavaria) since 2011.
As a carpenter's apprentice and enthusiastic Lord of the Rings fan, the first attempts were made in the early 2000s to recreate the reading pipes of Gandalf, Bilbo and Co. What had been lost over the years was then revived and the Thorsten Feitt pipe factory was founded in 2017. Building pipes is his passion and he loves the challenge of implementing new ideas.

Cited from the website:
"Welcome to Threeton Pipes. I created this site to share my hobby with fellow pipe enthusiasts, and to showcase the pipes I've made. I hope you will stay a while and look around, and if you have any comments or suggestions, please e-mail me.
I first became interested in pipes as a Civil War re-enactor in South Carolina. I purchased a small meerschaum pipe as a prop, and before long I became interested in collecting pipes. It was only a matter of time before I turned my love of woodworking towards making my own pipes.
While pipemaking is only a hobby for me, I do offer some of my pipes for sale....that is, when I can find the spare time to make them! I use aged Grecian briar for all of my pipes, and unless noted, all feature vulcanite stems."

Tinder Box

The Tinder Box was the chain of tobacco stores started by Edward Kolpin, Sr., who carved Ed's Hand Made pipes. The store, eventually sold to a Canadian conglomerate, eventually reached 200 retail outlets by 2007, and in the 40 years it operated on a large scale a great number of pipes were made for The Tinder Box by well respected makers. A few include the Tinder Box Unique, made by Charatan, Christmas Pipes by Ascorti, and the Tinder Box Noble and Exotica, made by Shalom Pipe Factory, Mauro Armellini did make the Verona and Napoli lines. The St. Ives appear to be made by GBD.
Ed Kolpin, Jr., opened a small tobacco, pipe, and cigar store in Santa Monica, the Tinder Box, in 1928. Later it moved to its current location in 1948 where it began serving the many Hollywood celebrities living nearby. Part of the attraction were the famous pipes handmade by Kolpin himself. In 1959 Kolpin began a tobacco-store franchise, at first locally and then by the mid-1960s there were Tinder Box stores in malls across America. The franchise business was sold in the 1970s, but Kolpin still owns and operates the original store as of 2003.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Santa_Monica,_California#1920s

Tine Pipes

From Martin Steinthaler's Webpage
It was only a short time ago, in December 1997, that I decided to try smoking a Pipe. I realy got hooked on PIPES and PIPE TOBACCO the day after. I'm not a professional right now because of lack of experience, but I keep on working on that. I love the relaxation of smoking a Pipe after hours of stress at work or even sport. I like to look at my Pipes and to search for others. Exploring new tobaccos and tastes. Since I am an Architect, I like the design and what's possible in workmanship. During a smoke I like to play with the Pipe and feel the surface and shape of it. That keeps me happy and gives me time to think about my new plans.
How it all started: 
I have to blame it all on Peter Matzhold! He is the one that made me think about carving. So I have no guilt. Or maybe just a little. Okay, okay it was I who took the first step. I went to visit Peter sometime in april 1999. It all started at this time when I first met Peter in his workshop. He gave me the chance to design his homepage. Since that time we became good friends. He was the one who offered me the use of his tools and his workshop to make my first attempts at pipemaking. Under his supervision I shaped my first pipes and I call myself lucky to be able to profit from his experience. He sometimes calls me his student and I think I feel like this too :-)
For me, forms and experimenting with shapes, lines and proportions is the real challenge. I am an achitect and I shape pipes to exercise my creative feelings in form and design. If the result is useable and looks and tastes good, my mission is fulfilled! Not forgetting all the fun during the making and the designing. Sure, my ideas as to how a pipe should look differ from Peter's, but that is the thrill of pipemaking. And I see how beautiful this work can be. 
All the ideas, the feelings and the fun should be seen and should be tasted in my pipes. I can't wait to see how my next pipe will look and what the future will bring.
Editor's Note: Martin is a professional architect as well as an avid competitive sportsman. He swims, sailboats, runs, rides motocross motorcyles & bicycles.

Titan

Titan, made in England is unusual in that the screw is part of the cup and the bowl has a threaded insert 'nut'.
The stem is of stainless steel, and cleaning by immersing in boiling water is recommended for the metal stem only.
Two identical pipes are known to be stamped TITAN PATS PEND under the shank, near the mouth piece, and another with CITY PATS PEND. Not sure why the difference.
The bit comes in 3 styles, straight, curved and dental, an easy push fit to enable easy interchangeability. There were 6 shapes of bowl (in image below from left to right) which they called:
Billiard which confusingly equates to the Falcon Dublin)
Bullcap (Falcon- Genoa)
Dublin equates to Falcon Algiers 
Devon (nearest in Falcon would be the Dublin)not shown here 
Pot which I find it hard to differentiate from their Dublin
Apple seems the same in both ranges
This info was supplied from the SMOKING METAL website, I recommend them for looking up info on all kinds of Metal based pipes.
Tobey

From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes
Hilman Tobey is a Native American artisan who lives on the Reno-Sparks Indian colony in Nevada. A graduate of the Stewart Indian School in Carson City, Hilman has been making replicas of medicine pipes for over 30 years in noble woods, minerals, and other materials. 
He takes part in the annyal Sundance ceremonies on the Pineridge reservation in South Dakota. His pipes are sold by Native Spirits, which represents artists producing Native American cultural objects.
Video on Vimeo feature Tobey: Nevada Stories: Pipemakers of the Great Basin
From the Vimeo introduction: Hilman Tobey, a Northern Paiute living at Reno Sparks Indian Colony, makes stone-bowled pipes for use in traditional ceremonies. This short film captures master artist Tobey teaching pipe-making skills to apprentice Norman Zuniga under the auspices of a Nevada Arts Council Folklife Apprenticeship Grant. Mr. Tobey, who just celebrated his 100th birthday, talks about the materials and tools used to make pipes as well as the origins and uses of ceremonial pipes in prayer. Filmed by Gabe Lopez Shaw for the Folklife Program of the Nevada Arts Council with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Tobias Höse

Tobias Höse was born in 1987 and lives in the Southern part of Brandenburg/Germany. He works as a nursery school teacher and has been a passionate pipe smoker for many years. In 2016, Höse had the idea to make his own pipe and assembled the equipment needed as fast as possible. He's been making pipes in his work shop ever since. It has become a great passion.
Höse likes working with briar, finding it fascinating as well as relaxing. He's inspired by classic English and Danish pipes. Another hobby he has is bonsai, which he started growing in 2004, which explains why his pipes are named Bonsai Pipes and stamped with a bonsai.
Höse uses different kinds of wood by different providers. Generally briar, but also olive and moor oak. He especially likes the sandblasted olive. His mouthpieces are handcut vulcanite, and without filter. He makes about 30 pipes in a year. Most of them are sandblasted, but in case of perfect material, he'll keep them smooth. He has no finish preference--it simply depends on the pipe/ He does not use a grading system for his pipes, which are all stamped with the BP Bonsai logo.

Tobias Kaffl

Tobias Kaffl has been making pipes for a few years and is still more of an insider tip.
Nevertheless, he has already built up a good reputation, and pipe influencers such as Ralf Dings have increasingly drawn attention to him.
This is not surprising, as there are many new pipe makers these days, but few are as highly talented as Tobias Kaffl.
He is 37 years old, a carpenter by trade and lives in Bad Feilenbach in Bavaria. In addition to making pipes, he is a passionate climber and enjoys travelling in the great outdoors.
His pipes are very harmoniously shaped and his craftsmanship is outstanding. Danish design is clearly his favourite style.
Despite the fact that he hasn't been making pipes for very long, his pipes appear surprisingly ‘mature’ and well thought out. A sure sign of his great talent.
Pipes with bamboo shanks, decorations of precious woods, bush-hammered birch or horn are particularly common. Depending on the type of construction and whether there is enough space in the pipe stem, Tobias Kaffl also builds pipes with a 6mm or 9mm bore.
Vulcanite and Cumberland from SEM are the main mouthpiece materials used. Courtesy, CIGARWORLD

Todd Bannard

Todd Bannard is know on forums as Sasquatch. He claims it takes "briar, sweat and tears" to make a pipe, hence the name of his website, and the BST stamping that appears on his pipes.
From Todd's Website: "I'm obsessed with making pipes, and lucky enough to be able to do so from time to time. The fun I have at this is off the charts, and the relationships I've established over the years mean a great deal to me. This is all very personal, and it's one of the aspects in my life which I have basically total control over. That doesn't make my pipes perfect, it makes them mine."

Tokutomi, Hiroyuki

Note: We have just received the very sad news that Hiroyuki Tokutomi has passed (January 28, 2025). He was 76 years old. Sykes Wilford has written a beautiful tribute: Bridging East and West: Hiroyuki Tokutomi Remembered.
 
Please feel free to contribute to this article, but please do not edit the quoted materials, which are under copyright. See Pipedia:Copyright
Quoted materials and pictures are Courtesy of smokingpipes.com
Hiroyuki Tokutomi has had an interest in creating objects of art from wood and other materials since he was a young child. He grew up carving from pieces of wood that he found or purchased and over decades of practice, he developed and honed his inborn talents.
Tokutomi's work is unlike that of any other. In his small workshop near Tokyo, he carves approximately 120 pipes each year and tiny animals and Buddhist artifacts from ivory. His work in ivory has been featured in exhibits in Japanese museums and is noted for its incredibly detailed, delicate workmanship."
"However, it is of course his pipes that interest all of us! Hiroyuki Tokutomi has developed a unique style over his three decades of experience as a pipe carver. Early in his career, in the 1970s, he studied under the venerable Sixten Ivarsson for a year in his studio in Denmark. As with all of Ivarsson's students, Tokutomi's style is occasionally reminiscent of the style of Ivarsson's. However, Tokutomi has also developed a style that is very much his own. Indeed, Tokutomi is one of the most dynamic and artistically virtuous carvers in the world."
"His style is eminently Japanese. Though he did learn from the greatest of Danish masters, it is the Japanese aesthetic and artistic tradition that seems to most influence his pipes. His style is organic and yet the organic designs are tempered within the stylization that is essential, indeed inherent, within the Japanese artistic tradition.
thumb|Tokutomi Pipes, from the collection of J. Rex PoggenpohlA pipe craftsman creates pipes and may even create novel or interesting shapes. A pipe artist creates a composition. Tokutomis work is best understood compositionally. His pipes have an internally coherent aesthetic and far more than the sum of their individual components. They are an expression of an artistic vision. Truly great pipes are works of art, and art cannot be created with a checklist of components. An artist must so completely understand his medium and his method that he can simply focus on the creation. Hiroyuki Tokutomi is one of the very few pipe makers in the world that possesses this level of artistry."

Tokutomi, Yuki

Yuki Tokutomi is the daughter of the great Japanese pipe maker Hiroyuki Tokutomi.
She has been making pipes since mid-2005. Though a young newcomer to pipe making, she grew up with it, watching her father work and helping him around the workshop, inculcating a love of the process and the materials. Working alongside her father in his workshop, Yuki's style reflects that of her father, yet maintains a character of its own. For stylistic influence, in addition to her father, she seems to draw on the work of Danish pipe makers Gert Holbek and, of course, the pipes of her father's teacher, Sixten Ivarsson.
She debuted successfully at the CPCC show 2007.

Tom Dunn

Tom Dunn was the founder, editor, and publisher of The Pipe Smoker's Ephemeris, which was a journal of vast pipe experiences submitted for publication by collectors and pipe enthusiasts around the globe. Tom Dunn founded The Universal Coterie of Pipe Smokers in 1964 as a means of exchanging information about pipes across the entire world. Most of his issues in the first decades were hand-cranked on a mimeograph machine, and Tom typed the contents on his manual typewriter.
It comprised letters written to him by pipe smokers about their experiences, their understanding of the history of brands, their delight in excellent tobacconists, their fun at pipe gatherings, the publication of pipe books, personal tobacco reviews, and pipe makers and companies contributed as well. Anything and everything concerning pipes and the people who enjoy them was found in the pages of The Pipe Smoker's Ephemeris.
Tom called his publication an "irregular quarterly," but it was a lot of work and sometimes appeared only once or twice a year, other times more often. No one complained though everyone wanted more. There was no cost for the journal; one needed only to request it to be added to the mailing list. It was a source of information, inspiration, and camaraderie across the entire pipe community, lasting until Tom's death in 2005. In recognition of his work, Tom was named a Doctor of Pipes in 1998, the first year that the prestigious award was granted. It's conferred to two individuals by the Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club every year at their pipe show to applaud at least 20 years of helping the hobby.
The Pipe Smoker's Ephemeris was an essential element in collectors and enthusiasts finding each other. Contact information for new members of the Coterie was included in each issue. There was no internet back then; everything was conducted by mail and phone, but collectors now found other collectors. Trading, selling, and buying special pipes between individuals became possible. The publication helped people refine and add to their own special pipe interests. Written by Chuck Stanion, and courtesy, Smokingpipes.com.

Tom Pipecarver & Son

Thomas Arcoleo, formerly a material engineer and technical economist, made tobacco pipes commercially in African bubinga wood under the trade name Tom Pipecarver & Son from 1973 to 1993 in Princeton, New Jersey. These highly-sculptured "free-hand" pipes were sold at his shop at 4 Spring Street, Princeton, but mostly through various other retail shops throughout the U.S. Originally the business was called Princeton Pipes/USA when started in a residential basement. The growing business was moved to various retail locations and was finally established at 4 Spring Street in Princeton until retirement in 1993.
In addition to pipes and other tobacco products, not including cigarettes, Mr. Arcoleo was specialised in the restoration of small objets d'art, heirlooms, and artifacts-- famously, "anything smaller than a breadbox". Mr. Arcoleo is retired and resides in Little Compton, RI.

Tom Richard Pipes

Courtesy of "Pipendoge" Jörg Rolf Lehmann 
<revive zone="20" align="right" caption="Pfeifen Shop Online (a new Pipedia Underwriter) has an excellent selection of Tom Richard's Pipes" />
Thomas Richard Mehret lives and works in the most northerly part of Germany, a short distance from the giant "pipe neighbor", Denmark. The final forty is an architect graduate (as a number of well known carvers are) and an enthusiastic pipe smoker. Numerous visits with Danish pipe makers, e.g. Poul Winslow, who is very popular here in Germany, induced him, like many other pipe enthusiasts, to try making a pipe for himself. For that reason, in 2001 and 2002, the first pipes then arose for personal use.
In spring 2003, Tom started to form hand made pipes using a sanding disk and making them accessible to the public through eBay Germany, where I first saw his pipes. In the meantime, he has become an internationally recognized member of the pipe making community through his industriousness and determination.
Thomas lives just this side of the German Border. He therefore calls his pipes "Danish Border hand made Pipes." As I mentioned above, he at first presented his pipes to the public through eBay Germany. His pipes immediately found the desired attention and were topics of extremely positive discussions in appropriate Internet forums. In the autumn of 2003, Tom sent three of his pipes to me to show to some pipe enthusiasts and fellow-collectors, on the occasion of the pipe world championship in Barcelona. The sentiment was positive, without exception.
Tom is always willing to perfect his pipes and is always open to trying something new. He isn't discouraged by sharp reviews either, but understands the criticism as help. This is not always usual in the "pipe job". However, it can be helpful to respect the customer, and Tom has put this to good proof. If one may speak to such a young career of early pipes at all, then these early pipes were very robust anyway. They absolutely had approval recognized by the umbrella-stand, like Poul Winslow's models, which are in high demand in Germany.
The current pipes of Tom Richard, which originate from the excellent Danish style, are considerably more filigree and much more sweeping. The processing is excellent, without exception. The pipes are good-natured smokers and therefore are not only beautiful, but of good everyday suitability. The smooth pipes often have very beautiful grain and the finish of the rustic pipes are beyond any criticism. Tom always makes very beautiful stems. He often makes attractive decorative rings of boxwood, roseswood or snakewood. He also likes to work with shank applications from different precious materials. He has, moreover, perfected a very beautiful and fine way of rustication.
