This Summer I will travel through Hungary, I will be there for a month and as usually, I would like to pick up some local pipe products. I know that Hungary is famous for inventing the "Hungarian pipe shape" in the Debrecen pipe factory during the 19th century (which sadly they started to call Oom Paul after that b@stard for who knows what reason). So unfortunately, the old pipe factory is not existing anymore but there is a pipe factory in Nagykőrös, called Szabó Pipagyár which is also quite old, it is producing pipes since 1930. https://www.pipagyar.hu/?lang=en
I'm sure that I will pick up some pipe from them, their pipes -especially the "premium limited" series- looks very promising. I have read that there is a Hungarian pipe maker, Antal Molnár (Tonyo) but his pipes are very rare and difficult to get one. Eastblockbriars on ebay sometimes has one from him. https://www.ebay.de/itm/A-Molnar-Freehand-Death-Star-Plateaux-NEU-9mm-Pipe-Pfeife-Pipa-Handmade/123720525018?hash=item1cce5164da:g:TtMAAOSwX3ZcTEoj
I was wondering if you know any other Hungarian pipe makers or factories? I will visit the pipe shop of Gallwitz, he has the oldes pipe shop in Budapest. Do you have any other tips?
