<blockquote>'''Porsche''' is a German brand created by the Austrian Ferdinand Alexander Porsche in the 1980s, with a modern design and is inpired by the car designed by Siegried Ebner Porsche. Porsche sold a limited edition of pipes produced by Henrich [[Oldenkott]], with ebonite stems, which are much sought after today by collectors. Production started up one more in 2002 with four acrylic stem models, produced by the [[Royal Dutch]] factory.

<blockquote>You should remember there are different varieties of the Porsche pipe: the first version, produced by Oldenkott in two shapes: a straight and a half-bent. Both shapes were available in different colour combinations. When Oldenkott and Porsche Design fell out production ceased for a good few years until Porsche Design signed a new agreement with [[Gubbels]], the makers of [[Big Ben]]. This latter version is easily recognised by the screwed-down ring on top of the bowl. On a first version, the metal (black or aluminum, but not chrome) is seamlessly integrated in the pipe. These first versions were excellent smokers (I still have an all-black half-bent), I've never smoked one of the later editions. I'm not sure who makes them now (if anyone), but since Gubbels declared insolvency a few years back I don't see them on their website anymore.<ref>https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/porsche-pipes-opinions.49986/post-35530650</ref></blockquote> | <blockquote>You should remember there are different varieties of the Porsche pipe: the first version, produced by Oldenkott in two shapes: a straight and a half-bent.
