Late in 1977 or early in 1978, so the story goes, a young man from Bremen, a university student, dressed in faded trousers and worn out shoes travelled through the northern areas of Germany carrying a scuffed up brief case full of pipes he humbly offered for sale to some considerable tobacconists. Maybe, this is a bit too much of folklore. | |||
Late in 1977 or early in 1978, so the story goes, a young man from Bremen, a university student, dressed in faded trousers and worn out shoes travelled through the northern areas of Germany carrying a scuffed up brief case full of pipes he humbly offered for sale to some considerable tobacconists. Maybe, this is a bit too much of folklore. [[Hasso Baudis]], that’s the young man’s name, finally found a dealer in Hamburg, who agreed to store some of his pipes. We don’t know who bought the first Hasso Baudis pipe, but the following hype is fairly beyond comparison. | |||
Later he was contracted by Tuxedo company, distributor of [[Dunhill]], [[Stanwell]] and other renowned brands in Germany. Issue 3/1981 of Pipe Club (German magazine) enthusiastically celebrated Hasso Baudis, aged 26 at the time, at the peak of his fame. But less than two years later (Pipe Club 1/1983) he had left the stage disappearing into some foggy nothing causing the wildest speculations about possible reasons. He had sold his workshop to architect and designer [[Robert Mewis]] whom he had introduced to the art of pipemaking before. Baudis later worked as an architect. | Later he was contracted by Tuxedo company, distributor of [[Dunhill]], [[Stanwell]] and other renowned brands in Germany.

Hasso Baudis is cheered to have made some of the most creative pipes in the merely five years of his active time as a fulltime carver. He made many innovative shapes from first-class wood combined with first-class finishes covering the whole spectrum of reddish colours and very good mouthpieces. As [[Rainer Barbi]] once mentioned, his wealth of ideas deserves admiration. | Hasso Baudis is cheered to have made some of the most creative pipes in the merely five years of his active time as a fulltime carver.
