Savory’s was an English make originally founded in 1885, but ultimately – as with Hardcastle, Charatan, and Ben Wade – it was absorbed by Dunhill and used as a Dunhill sub-brand. For a sub-brand, this Savory’s has some very nice sandblasting. It’s light in application, but highlights the natural ring grain of the briar very…

While for many years China has been associated with factories pumping out cheap rosewood pipes, HS Studio is different because, as far as my understanding goes, the pipes are mostly made freehand by artisan carvers, kinda like the great Danish ones of old, or Savinelli’s Autograph division.

It is said that Irwin’s was a sub-brand of GBD. Given that this 1345 is a dead ringer for GBD’s main-line shape 1345 pot-poker, I’m inclined to agree. The condition is fair. There’s certainly some rim darkening, especially at the rear section of the rim, but that won’t stop it from being a reliable smoker,…

I’m not entirely sure who makes Roma pipes, but my research appears to point to them being seconds produced by the many pipe factories in Italy.
