Shalom from Texas! I just started collecting Israeli pipes. Do you see many of those around, or is it mainly just new stuff from outside the country?

Unfortunately there is no manufacturing here as far as I know. I have been smoking pipe for the last several months, and just recently ordered an Israeli pipe. As far as I understant there are Shalom pipes, which were sold locally, and Alpha for the US market. Bought mine from a seller on ebay, who has couple of estate Israeli pipes. His nick is uniquomhebraicom. As far as I understand he is located not far from me. If there's anything I can do for you let me know.

Greetings!
I was in Israel several years ago, visiting family friends and and our daughter, who was on a gap-year program.
Here I am at Ein Gedi, having just opened my Secret Santa gift:

And a tin of Wallace Flake, unobtainable in the US at the time:

We were there for two weeks, and although I didn't see many other pipe smokers, it was nice to be able to dine at a sidewalk cafe and enjoy a bowl after dinner without being pounced upon by self-appointed public health advocates. A few very kind smiles greeted me wherever I lit up!

Where do you live?
