I don't own one but they are pretty.
Great collection! There is a really nice one on smokingpipes.com right now if you want another. Its an estate but unsmoked. Super tempting
Beautiful pipes! The bent billiard and the bulldog in particular. I don’t own any but maybe @hoosierpipeguy will post pics, he‘s got a fantastic Rubio collection.
Pretty much sums up my relationship with Mark as well. LOL.It was @hoosierpipeguy who got me hooked on Rubio's pipes. lol! I know Mark a little bit. Let's just say, Mark is Sith Lord Palpatine, and I'm his apprentice Darth Vader. ?
Thumbs way up for Mr. Rubio, and nice pipes PAPipe. I tried to grab the one above and you must have beat me to it (unless it was a commission to start) . I've got three on the way, one similar to your poker above but minus the silver band.
Jose Rubio, Jesse Jones, Todd Harris, Ryan Alden, board-crush Jack Howell......some really superb carvers at approachable prices. I got three Rubios for what one A-lister was offered to me at....and I believe each Rubio will be just as good.
Where are his pipes for sale at? I looked at smokingpipes.com and tobaccopipes.com and didn't see any.
Ok thanks but i dont have Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.... Ill have to get my wife to look him up i guess. Those blasts are amazing to look at and i bet they feel great in hand.Outside of the random estate,I don't think he has a regular US vendor. His main mode of sale is Instagram....pop in Jose Rubio Pipes in Google and it should be a top link. He puts up a pretty regular selection of pipes.....and you can get a good idea of what he makes. His e-mail is listed for contact. I'll say for the direct-contact artisan route, Jose has been very responsive/gracious to work with. At current US-Euro rates, most of his pipes would go $400-$550 from what I see right now.
