I'd like to send a little attention to Hekthor Wiebe from Canada. I don't own one yet but it is next on my list. He is a member of another forum...I haven't seen him around here, though.

I didn't see Colm Magner of Canada mentioned, but he's been out of the game awhile now. RIP Steve Weiner from Ohio (2002)one of Steve's rusticated billiards is the best all-around smoker in my rack.

Rich Lewis is a great guy, nothing but good vibes from that gentleman and his son.

@jogilli Figured you were a Texan when I saw the rattle the pipes were resting on. Awesome pipes! I'm jealous of anyone that has the talent to make those

 

[trevert]

Hey, don't leave me off of this list! I've been back in the USA for several years now, after all... :D
And one correction to a previous post - David Huber is now in NC, living not that far from me. He just moved down here last week and we just spent Saturday over at Pipe & Pint talking pipes. He's setting up his new workshop now.

I love this thread.
I always find myself coming back to it as a sort of jumping off point.

I've been really happy with my first pipe purchase a Dr. Grabow Freehand. The Freehand looks great and smokes better each bowl. I highly recommend for the price and do yourself a favor and remove the filter. I've never done a filter after the first smoke. I got an MM cob that I do samples and quick smokes in. However I do my favorite baccis and long smokes in the Freehand (1 to 2 hrs) due to cadence and large bowl.
I've recently found out about Rich Lewis in Minneapolis, MN which is 20 min away from me. Needless to say I have a piggy bank started to acquire one of his fine works soon!

I will soon visit his shop for I have only seen it via the net. He seem reasonable since his pipes are in the $250 to $500 range!
