The scope of '''''Pipedia''''' will ultimately be defined by its contributors. Our hope in setting it up is that it will become an extensive repository of information on tobacco pipes and their makers. Knowledgeable enthusiasts, collectors, pipe makers, and tobacconists are welcome and encouraged to contribute to Pipedia. Please click the "discussion" tab above if you'd like to dialog with the contributors about the project. Main subsections are now linked in the navigation bar on the left.

The scope of '''Pipedia''' is continually expanding through its contributors. It has become an extensive repository of information on tobacco pipes and their makers. Knowledgeable enthusiasts, collectors, pipe makers, and tobacconists are welcome and encouraged to explore and contribute to Pipedia. '''''Pipe smoking is allowed, encouraged, and facilitated on this site.'''''

Pipedia has now '''18,142''' pages, in all, including talk pages, redirects, etc. These are distributed in '''1,673 content pages''' and '''13,718''' uploaded files, including photos, videos and pdfs (mostly pipe photos). There is much to be explored, we hope it will be a pleasurable journey.

We are continually finding examples of pipes with very little or no information as to their origin. Please check [[:Category:Need Information|'''Need Information''']] to see the list of these articles. Perhaps you can help us expand Pipedia's ever growing knowledge base.

It would be great to see an overview of the history of pipe making in each region. Please feel free to contribute information to the individual sections. Many of the pipe makers still need bios or additional information and pictures (just click on them, and then select the Edit tab to add any information you have). Feel free to add other pipe makers you've a particular interest in or knowledge of. Please let me know if you need any help managing the wiki: mailto:sethile.pipes@gmail.com

We use the term '''''Broken Pipe''''' coined by Tom Dunn, and also used by Jan Andersson, to denote Pipe Makers who have passed on.

Pipedia brings MediaWiki's powerful collaborative environment to the World of pipes, thus providing a way to mine the vast brain trust we enjoy in the pipe community, and fine tuning the results into accurate easy to access articles. But we need more help! There is still so much work to do!  If you have a particular collection focus or an area of expertise, we would love to have your help with creating and editing articles. You can do that directly, by registering, or if you are uncomfortable with adding the information yourself, you can contribute by sending your information and photos to one of our active contributors to add for you.

'''Amercan Miscellaneous''' (Seconds, thirds, discontinued and liquidated brands): [[AM A-K]] | [[AM L-Z]]
 
American pipe making is heavily influenced by the European schools, although Asian aesthetics, at least as they play out in pipes, have also become a notable influence. In particular, the Italian, English, and French schools, with their traditional shapes, have formed the basis for the work of many American pipe makers who have  pored over collections of old Dunhills, Barlings, GBDs, Costellos, Savinelli's, etc. Many of these shapes were well established by the 1920s. Others are heavily influenced by the makers of Danish high grade pipes, who have likewise been influenced by their mentors, the fathers of the Danish freehand movement of the 1950's and '60s.
 
"[[Go West]]" is a fascinating look at high grade American pipe makers from across the pond. Written By: Erwin Van Hove and originally published in the French magazine, Pipe Mag.
 
Among other interesting developments in US pipe making has been Sandblasting. Fred Hanna wrote an interesting article for The Pipe Collector called, [[The Best Sandblasted Pipes are Being Made By Americans]], where he writes, "Now and then, someone will point to a particular country, such as Denmark or Italy, and remark upon the quality of their pipe makers as a group.  This may be in terms of design, finish, mouthpieces, engineering, or what have you.  Let's add another such assessment. I have been watching the quality of sandblasting by Americans for the last couple of years, and I don't think there can be any doubt about it.  The best sandblasted pipes OVERALL are now coming out of the USA."
 
Suffice it to say that a new generation of American pipe makers have emerged. Many have made the trek to high grade pipe mecca to study with the master carvers. They have brought back an entire school of technique and aesthetic and made it their own. Others combine the traditional and freehand styles in a unique combination. Regardless of their influences, many of these American pipe makers are pursuing pipe making with a tremendous passion and energy, and an individual spirit, not unlike the one that molded the country.

Although much deserved credit has been given to Danish pipemakers & the "Danish Freehand" style, a lot of credit has to go to a handful of brilliant and innovative Swedish pipemakers, not the least of whom were '''[[Sixten Ivarsson]]''' & '''[[Bo Nordh]]''' (may they smoke & rest in peace).
 
More pipe maker articles coming soon. Very thankfully there exists an excellent site dedicated to Swedish pipe makers. We highly recommend [http://www.svenskapipklubben.se/default.asp?lang=4 Svenska Pipklubben] (Swedish Pipe Club) and extend many thanks to '''Jan Andersson''', club secretary (and pipe smoker, of course).

Welcome to Pipedia!

Note: We are currently working on a translation of Pipedia to French, Portuguese and Spanish. These pages are available at the top.

The scope of Pipedia is continually expanding through its contributors. It has become an extensive repository of information on tobacco pipes and their makers. Knowledgeable enthusiasts, collectors, pipe makers, and tobacconists are welcome and encouraged to explore and contribute to Pipedia. Pipe smoking is allowed, encouraged, and facilitated on this site.

Pipedia has now 18,142 pages, in all, including talk pages, redirects, etc. These are distributed in 1,673 content pages and 13,718 uploaded files, including photos, videos and pdfs (mostly pipe photos). There is much to be explored, we hope it will be a pleasurable journey.

We are continually finding examples of pipes with very little or no information as to their origin. Please check Need Information to see the list of these articles. Perhaps you can help us expand Pipedia's ever growing knowledge base.

Become a Contributor

Featured Pipe, Kent Rasmussen, courtesy Lars Kiel.

Pipedia brings MediaWiki's powerful collaborative environment to the World of pipes, thus providing a way to mine the vast brain trust we enjoy in the pipe community, and fine tuning the results into accurate easy to access articles. But we need more help! There is still so much work to do! If you have a particular collection focus or an area of expertise, we would love to have your help with creating and editing articles. You can do that directly, by registering, or if you are uncomfortable with adding the information yourself, you can contribute by sending your information and photos to one of our active contributors to add for you.

We've had to temporarily restrict automatic account creation to combat an aggressive spam campaign. If you have anything you'd like to edit, add, or upload, please don't hesitate to request an new account by E-mailing Scott Thile (sethile.pipes@gmail.com) to request an account. Please include at least the following:

Desired username:
Email address:
Reason for account, or your particular areas of interest and knowledge:

Once we receive your request an account will be created and a random password emailed to you. When you log in as a registered user you can start editing or adding information yourself. Or if you prefer, you can send information, photos, other materials, or suggested edits to Scott Thile, and we can add them for you. Either way, please consider joining us in the effort to preserve the vast wealth of information we have available to us now before it is lost, or becomes much more difficult to find!

Basic Layout

Featured Pipe, J. Alan Pipes, 2009 Best of Show.

Links to articles on Pipe Makers and Brands has its own dedicated article (see Pipe Brands / Makers). Materials and Construction has a dedicated article.

The off-site links (related to pipe smoking) can be found at Pipedia Links.

The article on Pipe Making includes a great deal of information as well as an extensive list of pipe making suppliers.

We now have a new and ever expanding Glossary of pipe and tobacco related terms.

These and other main subsections are also linked in the navigation bar on the left. You will also find the search function, an excellent way to find information on Pipedia, in the upper right corner.
