I recently started collecting pipes from different counties around the world. So far I have 4 different countries. I have a Savinelli for Italy, a Chacom for France, a Canadian Pipe from young new pipe maker named Jordan, and a pipe from Puerto Rico from a new pipe maker named Ricky War. I was trying to upload a picture but it did not work. My question is which pipe makers do you suggest from other countries for me to look up. I would like to at least have 12 pipes representing different counties. Have you had a good experience with a purchase from a foreign pipe maker? I would like to add Germany, Japan, and a meer from Turkey to my collection along with any others that you might suggest. Thanks in advance for your help, FCP

Any Ben Wade made in Denmark, you won’t be disappointed. You can still purchase a Ben Wade pipe at very reasonable prices on eBay or Smokingpipes. .......GOOD LUCK 👌👍👍

For Japan you can check out Tsuge pipes.
I have the Mizuki Smooth Freehand with Plateau rim and it's a good smoker.

Depends on your budget... For Denmark, I can either recommend Tom Eltang at the high end or Johs at the low end. For Brazil, Martello makes some beautiful pipes, but they aren’t cheap.

I didn’t mentioned this but I also have to stay within a certain price range if I want to accomplish this goal. I have seen some gorgeous foreign pipes but the prices are way out there. |

You can purchase a few Ben Wade pipes, even Freehand style unsmoked for under $150.00. Take a look on eBay. A few to choose from now👌👍👍 PS
I agree with John above, Johs pipes smoke fabulous and are a bargain. |

I will check Johs. I have seen the Eltang’s. There are super nice but always out of my price range. Thanks for the suggestions. |

For Croatia, Marinko Neralic makes some fine pipes at 'reasonable' price points.

I remember going to the website for Japanese Pipes but those where $800- $2000. Yeah ... a lot of them are ludicrous in both price and design. That's why I mentioned the Tsuge Mizuki. It runs about $120 new and can be had for much less as an estate. |

Tom Eltang makes an economy line which he calls Sara Eltang. A blasted Sara Eltang might be within your budget. |

I’m trying to stay between $50-$120 so that I can accomplish my goal collecting as many as I can afford from all the different countries. Thank you again for all your suggestions. |

With that price point, Joh’s would be a good fit, mine is beautiful and smokes great.
I have heard Papipeguy say good things about Blakemar Briars from England, I believe he is within the price range.

Northern Briar Rox Cut would fit as an English pipe as well.
I think Ben888(?) still has a nice looking Russian pipe still up for sale.

Thanks in advance for your help, FCP This is a way, way better post than your video link. Now I know the thrust of things and I can actually respond! As I understand it, the "traditional" pipemaking countries are Denmark, England, France, Germany Greece, Ireland, and Italy, in alpha order. Denmark, England/France/Ireland, and Denmark have distinctive "schools" of design. In addition to the "traditional" sources of pipes, we live in a modern world where the USA, Canada, Japan, Turkey, Russia, and China are all significant sources of pipes. I hesitate to indicate "national" pipemakers but at least I can name some distinctive factory pipes that are still actively made and sold as new pipes I am deliberately excluding artisan pipes here, because that would be waaaay too long a list  America -- The United States has made briar pipes for over a hundred years. Many of the heavy-hitters are gone, but at least two are still with us: Kaywoodie and Dr Grabow. Kaywoodies are still made in NY, the same as they have been for a century. Dr Grabow is made by Sparta Industries, in North Carolina. Either the largest or second largest pipe factory in the world, depending who you ask. Denmark -- Sadly the last pipe factory in Denmark closed some years ago. Some of the classic shapes are still sold by the Italian incarnation of Stanwell. England -- Blakemar Briars, The Dunhill / Charatan / Ben Wade conglomerate, The Cadogan GBD/Comoy/etc conglomerate. Honorable mention: Northern Briars. NB is a one-man shop but Ian turns out a remarkable number of pipes per year, and prices comparable to the factory shops. France -- almost all the pipe brands in France are under the control of a single company, Cuty-Fort enterprises. Some notables are Genod (mostly handmade!), Ropp, and Chacom Greece -- I don't know of a significant factory maker in Greece, but there are a ton of talented artisans.[/li][/div]
Holland -- the Gubbels factory is still large and in charge. Hilson, Big Ben, et al. Italy -- the largest, or second-largest, pipe factory in the world is in Italy -- the Savinelli/Rossi plant. There are many, many others -- GiGi, Gardesagna, Lorenzo... In addition, Italy is home to a lot of small shops that are too big to be artisan, but too small, and too labor-intensive, to be factories proper -- Radice, Castello, and Ardor among them.
Russia -- few factory pipes here. Most are artisan. The only major factory I know of is Golden Gate, which is actually in Ukraine, not Russia (although it sells extensively in the Russian market.) Turkey -- there are no factory pipemakers in Turkey of note. Turkey's pipemaking is dominated by artisans. The "brand names," like Altinok and IMP, are distributors. Every pipe is still handmade by an individual, often in small shops.
To be very clear, I have excluded artisanal makers on purpose. That would take hundreds of pages to cover  |

Do you have any pipes made here in the US ? If not, try some used Edward's from the '70s thru '80s . Some of the BEST pipes made anywhere! There are lot's on e-prey.
As far as american "artison" pipe makers, you can't beat ANY of those pipes made by Bill Walther. www.walthersmokingpipes.com/contact

If we're talking used pipes, a Custombilt is a very distinctively American pipe, in both design and execution. Big, by the standards of the day, drilled wide open, by the standards of the day, with a rugged rustication that appealed only in the American market. It don't hurt that they were originally made in my hometown |

If budget is a consideration, Tsuge has The Tasting line around $60.00 and they look quite respectable.

Do you have any Peterson from Ireland?
Nording pipes are made in Denmark (AFAIK). They are reasonably priced.

I’m just having a hard time deciding since they have so many. But I will grab one as soon as I see one on sale that I like. For Denmark, I’m looking at Stanwell even though they are not there anymore. I like their history. Thanks for the suggestions. Nording pipes are really nice. I probably end up getting one some day also 😊 |

Since it was only 2008 when Stanwell shut down the Danish factory and started using Italian contract manufacturers, it is relatively easy to find unsmoked Danish made Stanwells. I won one on eBay for $60 with shipping a couple weeks ago. |
