They are unique and an art form", he says. He works alone, accepts commissions based on customer designs and argues that "time is far too precious to waste on smoking a bad pipe". He uses briar from Greece and France, and ebonite stems, creating 120 to 140 pipes a year, which come with a matching tamper. Main markets: Germany and Astria.
