John Peel is a pipe make that appears to have fueled debates within the community for a long time. Exactly who made them—and, perhaps more importantly, when they made them—is still being pondered, as more John Peel pipes turn up on the estates circuit. This is an example of one of Barling’s John Peel pipes, as clearly…
Michel pipes were store-brand pipes made for Maison Michel, a North Carolina (USA) tobacconist run by Michel J. Mitchell between 1951 and 1980. Over the years, several prominent pipe-makers made pipes for Maison Michel, such as Charatan, Barling, and others. The opera is a relatively strange shape in the world of pipe design, even in…
A very classical rendition of the bent billiard from Holland’s Big Ben, though one with a slightly modern twist by way of an oval shank. The condition is great. Some very minor rim darkening. Details: Length: 5.6″ / 142.2mm Bowl Width: 0.80 / 20.32mm Bowl Depth: 1.7″ / 43.18mm Weight: 2.0oz / 58g
Given how few pipe factories have existed in Holland, I would wager that this M.T. Natural pipe was made by Gubbels, a pipe company also known for producing the Porsche, Big Ben, and later Hilson makes. The pipe itself is a timeless billiard in design—eminently functionalist, while still being nice to look at. The condition…

Over the years, several prominent pipe-makers made pipes for Maison Michel, such as Charatan, Barling, and others. This particular Michel is a compact and relatively lightweight author shape. Perfect for shorter smokes,…
Dr Grabow might just be the quintessential American working man’s pipe. Created in 1932 by Linkman & Co., the Dr Grabow name soon became a staple in the American pipe world, being still produced today and enjoyed by novices and veterans alike. I think this might be the first time I’ve seen this shape from…

Barling and Sons was originally founded in 1812 by Benjamin Barling and began as a family business making silver-adorned meerschaum pipes. In the early 20th century, however, the Barling family began to produce what the brand is today most famous for – expertly made briar pipes. True to the name, Barling’s Garnet Grain finish was…
Peterson pipes generally need no introduction, but just in case you’re unfamiliar: in 1876, a Latvian named Charles Peterson immigrated to Ireland and was hired making pipes in a workshop owned by Frederick and George Kapp. After rising through the ranks to become head craftsman, Peterson bought into the Kapp’s business, which was renamed, Kapp…
While Ben Wade was a historic British pipe brand, for a time during the 1970s, production of Ben Wade pipes was contracted out to one of Danish pipe-making’s superstars: Preben Holm. Though he would tragically pass away at the age of 42, Holm was one of the pioneering figures in the ‘Danish design’ movement in…
While I’m not too sure about the history of the Darnell make, it appears that the pipes were made for export by Gasparini. Gasparini itself is an Italian make, named for its founders Mario and Ida Gasparini, who took up pipe-making all the way back in 1938. Gasparini has remained a family affair since, and…

Gasparini made Darnell pipes back in the 1980s as a quality but affordable option. This pipe, like many others we stock came from a shop in Europe that closed many years ago.
