Show Us Your German Pipes

[dunnyboy]

Not entirely sure how it happened but I seem to have ended up with more than a few German pipes. Here are the ones currently in my collection posted in the order in which they were purchased.

First up a Cornelius Manz squashed tomato acquired as an unsmoked estate. Photos are from the original listing.

Next a Karlheinz Joura volcano. Also acquired as an unsmoked estate. Photos from the original listing.

Went back to my friend Ronny. Roland v Bremen asking if he had one more NOS DB Design Berlin and he did. For Christmas. It came today. It’s awesome. Keeping my Volcano company. It’s a freehand Horn. 9mm Filter. Twin bore. Lot s of Birdseyes. It a seriously large pipe. Not a clencher. Chamber is not that large and nicely tapered. Love it. First smoke w Telegraph. Awesome. A wonderful haptic experience.

Peter Klein...German but moved to Denmark so I think it counts..no idea if it was made before or after the move but he is still German so far as I know:

Paul Becker

Paulo is actually Italian. I have four of his pipes as well. Love them.

Different guy. Paul Becker is German...due to several pipe makers named Becker he signs his pipes PaulPipes.

Paul is still working. Paulo passed in 2014

Thank you, I stand corrected.

No problem...Paul is popular in the EU, especially in Germany, but not so much in the US.

This one is on the way. A Paul Becker estate.
Really looking forward to this one.

My single Rainer Barbi estate pipe is humbled by your beautiful 8-pipe collection, but I do love it. Large straight brandy, saddle stem with bone, and bowl that's nearly an inch in diameter, and wide-open draw. By me at least, smoked only several times. This pipe is old, and from his early work. Bought because I love the brandy shape.

I also have 4 Vauens. Here are 2. A green stained apple with oval shank and stem and miele ornament with chrome metal on either side, and a Hawaii ball pipe. I got the Hawaii from Germany, because they were impossible to find here once I saw them, and I wanted not just the shape, but the particular pattern.

Vauen does some really interesting stuff. Those both look great!
