Those are some great pipes. My favorite pipe carver is Jerry Perry of Colfax, N.C., who in turn
learned his trade from an Indiana pipe carver. Jerry shows his pipes at the North Carolina State
Fair in the Village of Yesteryear pavilion, and at the TAPS (Triangle Area Pipe Show) at the
Fairgrounds in April. I have two of his Mountain Laurel pipes, a poker/pot with an impressively
irregular bowl, one of my favorites, and a full bent ball with a line engraving of the Mountain
Laurel and a bird on the bowl. I also have two of his briar pipes, a rusticated billiard straight, and
a light stain bent billiard pocket pipe. All of these are stellar smokers. He keeps his prices within
reach of fairgoers and newbies and is one of the great North Carolina crafts people, though as
near as I can tell, not much known outside the state. His work should be in the crafts museum in
the western part of the state; I petitioned them when I was there, and they admitted it is a missing
part of their collection, with the state's long history of tobacco agriculture.

Custom Spitfire pipes from Scott Andrews. A pipe maker out of Texas He Apparently Sends this as A free gift with one of his Pipe Commissions I got this as a Free Gift as Well from an ebay seller which i bought my David Jones Poker From rsuninv was the Seller very nice guy great to deal with (thanks Tim) he said he enjoyed dealing with me so much that he sent this awesome pipe to me as a bonus.
I was mistaken on the Scott Andrews Pipe this isnt a freebie it was a commissioned pipe sorry Tim please correct me on here.
Bigvan I'm not sure either lol if you feel that it deserves a show off thread of its own feel free to make one buddy just link it to the sticky it's a gorgeous pipe I love the rustication on it.

Right now, I'm having Missouri Meerschaum make one for me similar to the MacArthur pipe that Tommy Lee Jones used in Emperor. After that, I think I want one from member thesmokindragon :puffpipe:

Beautiful pipes so far guys.
Here are the pipes I have by American makers that seem to be "lesser known". They all smoke pretty well, some better than others, and they all were ones I wouldn't normally go for but I couldn't pass up.
Top: Bellezia Handmade 2007 w/brass dot on stem. Second down: Arley Curtz with brass dots on stem as well. Third down: Fairchild 02 Bottom: Rylan Doyle #3303

Up and coming underground Pipe Makers.
Like all things no one is born a rock star they work there way up through years of practice, trials and errors and experience.
Indie is anyone that is within these categories above still finding them shelves, or mastering there technique.
As far as how to tell someone is indie maybe someone else can explain that lol
Just arrived.
He currently has a $100 discount on his regular prices. If you read his blog, it tells that he's raising money for an adoption and the proceeds are going for that.
So, with a heck of a saving from a fine maker and helping his cause, it was a no-brainer for me.
The pipe has arrived and it is a joy. It has the most open draw of any pipe on my racks.
