Johann Slabbert passed away on 22nd May 2016. He unfortunately hasn't made any pipes since the death of his friend and fellow pipe maker Leon du Preez. The death had a major impact on Johann's life and since that day he never touched his pipe making tools again. He passed the tools on to his grandson Wesley Slabbert who will hopefully carry on with the great tradition his grandfather started. | |||

Since I started creating pipes, I made a lot of pipe smoking friends on the Internet. I am also a member of the "Stuttgarter Pfeifen Freunde-79", the "Buenos Aires Pipa Club" and the "Confraria Do Cachimbo" of Brazil. | Since I started creating pipes, I made a lot of pipe smoking friends on the Internet.
