I picked up this classic billiard from Mike at briarblues a few weeks ago. The artisan is a little known carver named Ingo Garbe. I have been puffing on this recently and it is a real smoking machine. Has anyone heard of this guy and whether he is still carving? He doesn't seem to have a website that I can find.

I have never heard of him either. Makes you wonder how many carvers are out there that make wonderful pipes but never receive any notoriety.

Too many never receive the recognition they deserve. The bird's eye on your's is stellar. Enjoy it.

Definitely traditional and qualified by rothnh's narrative, nice pipe I bet that button is some comfortable too.

Another beauty Peck. I would prefer something a little lighter weight but very nice indeed.

I am a big fan of Ingo Garbe's work. I love his idea of sticking to traditional shapes. He is certainly not way out there in freehand design. Not to re-invent the wheel, he concentrates more on grain, engineering and smooth flowing lines. I try to pick up his pipes whenever I can.
Here is a straight grain bent I sold some time ago.

That other Garbe is sweet. I am on the hunt for more of his pipes for sure.

Any word on the size of the draft hole he does on his pipes?

LOVE that one Peck! What a grab!
Pease has some things to say about Garbe, I believe.

My eyes are open widely!!!

That pipe looks like a Tiger-butterfly in it with beautiful Birdeyes and Grain.

May be it could be a name of pipe.

I am surprised I missed this thread. Peck, that pipe is beautiful. Did you ever buy more of his pipes and if so how are they smoking?

Yep, that is a beauty. Am rather partial to chubby, straight billiards-or just chubby pipes in general.

Brad yours is just so elegant, the stem exquisite.

Marty Pulvers adores Garbe and has a number of his pipes for sale in the German section.

I like that though expensive his prices are not obscene.
