''Vermont'' native James T. “J. T.” Cooke, (b. 1949) has been called “the Bo Nordh of the blast,” “the supreme master” and “the Tessla of Sandblasting.” 1 In 2022, he was awarded Doctor of Pipes by the Chicago Pipe Collectors Club, the equivalent of Hollywood’s Oscar for Lifetime Achievement Oscar. 2 He has made two pipes of the year for Pipes & Tobaccos magazine, one in 1999 (in a run of 250) and a second (in a run of 50) in 2008. In 2005, he made an edition of 25 straight dublins for the NASPC club pipe. 3 His pipes are renowned for offering a tactile and visual experience unlike any others in the world. His work is in such continuous demand that commissioned pipes have sometimes taken three to four years, resulting in a robust estate market where his pipes routinely sell for more than newly commissioned ones. | ''Vermont'' native James T. “J.
