Though various Savinelli lines have come and gone over the years, the brand has always been notable for putting out classically…
Here’s an interesting pipe. I’m not sure I’ve seen one like it before – a meerschaum pipe in the vest pocket style. I’m not sure who made it though. Perhaps the simple ‘V P’ stamp indicates that it was made by the Belgian Vinche tobacconist, founded by Jean-Baptiste Vinche in the mid-19th century. I’m afraid…
Ferndown pipes were made by the legendary British pipe-maker Leslie ‘Les’ John Wood, along with his wife Dolly.

I’ll admit, this pipe was a bit of a mystery to me. From some research I was led to two possible answers, offered by pipe collectors: either King’s Ransom pipes were made by Comoy’s, or they were made by John Redman, both being major London pipe-makers from last century. Whoever made it, it’s an interesting…

This pipe was a bit of a mystery to me, what with it not being stamped. Is isn’t a basket pipe – you can tell that just from looking at it – and it has a smooth panel set aside from the rusticated finish where a stamp would, ordinarily, be placed. It feels well made…

What’s more, Stanwell sub-brands were of a…
To veteran pipe smokers, Dunhill needs no introduction. Beginning in 1907, Alfred Dunhill began selling Dunhill pipes at the tobacconist shop he owned on London’s Duke Street.

By hand-shaping his pipes on a belt sander, Holm…
