Juan Pablo Urquiza loved the way pipe smoke smelled and began collecting and refurbishing old pipes as a hobby. One year later he made my first pipe out of cherrywood. Then he made his second pipe out of olive one year later. Online forum friends liked that second pipe and ordered about five of them. This motivated Urquiza to make pipes out of different types of wood, including rosewood, olive, and briar.

Up until March, 2015, 95 percent of Juan Pablo's work was done by hand, shaping pipes using files only. It takes longer than using a lathe but enjoyed seeing the finish product and knowing that most of it was accomplished using hand tools. Now, while his production is still limited, in order to produce more pipes he also uses a lathe.
