  • 1996 - "The 1996 Calumet's Pipe of the Year"
  • 2000 - Number one in "The Golden List of Polish Pipe-Manufacturers of Calumet 2000"

The pipes are made of top-quality bruyere, and the production process is mostly based on handiwork. The models range from standard shapes to specially designed forms made on request, from elegant classical lines to idiosyncratic curves. We lay special emphasis on the perfect quality of manufacture, the simplicity and elegance of design and the proper style of packaging. It has been our ambition to follow the changing fashions and, by being able to respond to pipe-smokers' tastes, to create appropriate offers for connoisseur pipe-lovers.
