What are False Artisan Pipes?

Agreed. I think the difference is the brand on an artisan pipe represents the individual man who made it; the brand on a factory pipe represents the man who established the factory that made your pipe; the actual individual is almost always unknown.
Pretty sure this is itI know P&C lists pipes with a checkbox - something like
Artisan True False x
Not sure if that's what you mean or not.
Never heard of itHello all it has been awhile once I’ve posted a question, however I have been lurking.Today I’m shopping online for another pipe to add to my slowly growing collection and saw some referred to as ‘false artisan’ a term I am unfamiliar with. Any help on explaining would be great. Thanks guys have a nice weekend.
The term "false artisan" gives me the impression of poor craftsmanship. Like somebody hacked up their pipe making kit or attempted to copy a Peterson and called it Erin Go Bragh.
I'd steer clear, but that's just my .02

Can you provide a link to the website that lists "false artisan" pipes?Hello all it has been awhile once I’ve posted a question, however I have been lurking.
If you want a more prosaic answer the P&C data field probably requires a Boolean value, ie true or false. Peterson is not an Artisan pipemaker, hence the entry is false. If you pull up a Nording pipe on the same site you’ll find that the value for this field will show as “True”.
While this explanation has the virtue of being responsive it’s much less fun than the others on offer in this thread.

Yes and somehow we managed to have a 2 page discussion about something that was evident from the first post.
Just filling in descriptors, evidently. Stupid way to answer this one. "No" would have been better. Someone needs to adjust P&C's software.
Yes it was on P&CI know P&C lists pipes with a checkbox - something like
Artisan True False x

For whatever reason when you click on some of their pipes I the site uses the word “No” and for others it uses the word “False””
If all these "lifers" haven't heard this term, it's made up by someone and simply not any sort of common usage.
Some crafts people and some brands carve the briar but use preformed stems, for example, or use machined stummels but finish them by hand. That should simply be stated and not hid behind a made-up terminology. In some writing situations, that is referred to as weasel-wording and is not respectable. That kind of verbiage would be a red light for me, not to buy from that outfit.
If you want to be "nice," you could tell them that, but I wouldn't bother.

It’s PipesandCigars.com I was looking at Viking pipes
this song takes on a wholly different meaning if you know a bit about Latin
.
I'm a bit confused.
Are those clones?
Is this a copy and paste job?
The prices don't make sense and the caption for the Medford is all wrong..
