Brazilian Pipe Makers, Anyone?

[Mike N]

At the Chicago Pipe Show, two Brazilian pipe makers really impressed me: Luiz Lavos and Emiliano. Here are two of their pipes I purchased. The Lavos billiard has a silver accent and the Emiliano bamboo has an exotic wood adornment. Just incredible detailing and they smoke great, too. Both of course have hand cut vulcanite stems. Anyone else looking at a Brazilian pipe?

I’ve been watching both makers for awhile and I’m always impressed with their pipes.
The Emiliano with Bamboo is just a stunning pipe

 

[Luiz Lavos]

Hi Mike. Thanks for following our work and for adding one of my pipes to your collection. Hope you enjoy it!

You can’t talk Brazilian pipes without talking about Gustavo Cunha of MarTelo pipes. Here are a couple of cased sets I own-

Don’t forget Flavia Rodrigues.

I've had this Martelo for 8 years!
Apologies for the stock photo- I dropped my phone in a pool so I'm using my tablet and this pic was on there.

Have to shout out MarTelo - Mr. Cunha's pipes are a unique blend of modern styling meets classic shapes.

You can tell the first two are Brazilian.
They obviously have had Brazilian bowl lifts!
Lots of junk in the trunk.
I apologize @Luiz Lavos but your women are legendary for their "style".

There’s probably a few hundred pipe makers, but I’d doubt there’s a brazilian of em.

I could never figure out how they were making waterproof watches in the 1940s but if I leave my Apple iPhone 10’ from any moisture I have to buy a new one. What a scam.

Funny- the model I ruined (I think an IPhone 14) IS technically water resistant and probably would have been ok if not for the broken camera lense.

Coincidentally- the Martelo that I posted about initially is what I’m smoking right now. Soo I’ll post it to keep us on topic.

@Luiz Lavos crafted this for me a few years ago - he said it was his first use of this blast on this shape - it’s a treasure.

I just picked up my second new Emiliano from MBSD, another bamboo billiard with ebonite stem. It’s 5.2 inches and weighs 26 grams. I love that style and the leather leather pipe bag is very cool.

I liked the pic of @HawkeyeLinus rusticated Lavos pipe so much that I commissioned a matched set of 3 (morning, noon, evening pipes) from Luis in different shapes...
