What superb woodworking! What a finish! I have only one Jobey pipe, with the screw stem, which works well, unlike some of them. It also has the bright varnish and spot carving. Jobey has moved around a lot. I think they started in France, moved to England, and they moved to the U.S. for a while, then back to France. Something like that. My local independent pipe shop owner thinks mine may have been made in the U.S., though the stem says "France." Yours are beautiful pipes. Most Jobey's have some flash and style, and mine smokes well, especially aromatics. I've never been sorry I bought the Jobey and have never been tempted to trade it. It has its own special place on the rack.
