CHARATAN’S MAKE Selected FH
A vivid testament to the idea that creative freedom fosters an endless array of perfect creations. During Charatan's golden era, the brand's finest pipes were crafted by leading artisans who disregarded catalogs and standardized shapes. As a result, among Charatan's top series, such as the premier Supreme or the second-highest Selected, you will never find two identical pipes. Each piece was shaped by the master's vision and guided by the unique qualities of the briar itself.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
ASHTON Old Church LX, 1995
A remarkable collector's item showcasing the masterful work of Bill Ashton-Taylor, a former top specialist at Dunhill and later one of the most prominent English pipe makers of the late 20th century. The Old Church pipes stand out even among other, more valuable grades of his work, thanks to the particularly successful combination of expressive sandblasting and the natural shades of the finish.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
G. W. SIMS freehand
This is one of the most striking and expressive freehand pipes by G.W. Sims that we’ve had the pleasure of handling. A truly organic blend of form, briar grain, and luxurious plateau—unsurprising for an artisan often referred to as the 'most Danish of English pipe makers' and the father of English freehands.At the same time, the shape reflects influences from the Charatan tradition (as Mr. Sims spent many years working for the company before starting his own business) and shares similarities with high-grade Orlik pipes. For instance, we once featured this remarkable Orlik Special Grain in our collection. This lends credence to the claim that G.W. Sims may have collaborated with Orlik at some point in his career.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
BEWLAY Bewy unsmoked
This is an exceptionally rare find. Until now, we had not encountered any information about the Bewy series from BEWLAY, one of London's most esteemed tobacconists. Prestigious brands such as Barling, Charatan's, Loewe, Sasieni, and Orlik produced pipes for them. Today, not only is this pipe available, but it also comes with its original box and even a "warranty card."The accompanying document provides valuable historical details, including the exact date of sale—March 1, 1951—and the shop's address at 30 Berkeley Street, London. Even more remarkably, the pipe has remained unsmoked since its purchase 73 years ago, preserved exactly as it was on the day it was bought. This is truly a fantastic find!As for the possible manufacturer, we would lean toward Loewe. However, if you have other theories, we would be delighted to discuss them with you.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
M.L.C. Ambrol
The story of how Louis B. Linkman invented the name Dr. Grabow in 1930, now one of the most iconic American pipe brands, is well-documented. It is recounted across various resources and reference books, including our humble website. Before the Dr. Grabow brand emerged, M. Linkman & Co. pipes of the 1920s showcased remarkable craftsmanship, and this example is no exception. Compact, lightweight, and impressively preserved for a century-old piece, it stands as a fascinating testament to the skill of American pipe makers.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
JOHN REDMAN Redonian De Luxe
A highly successful example of craftsmanship from the John Redman factory in the mid-20th century. Both the remarkable 'oriental' finish—first seen on Redman pipes before being adopted and successfully utilized by other artisans—and the thoughtful interpretation of the acorn shape are sure to captivate any avid collector.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
BARLING 3229
This pipe is not a product of the Barling family period, but it clearly retains many of the characteristic traits of that era: the shape, the mouthpiece profile, and the distinctive Barling-style button. Therefore, we can confidently conclude that the pipe was crafted not long after the transition period, still carrying the charm and essence of the classic Barling's legacy.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below

(Tallent of Old Bond Street) pipe stand
This unique English three-pipe stand bears no manufacturer's markings (typically a separate metal plate attached to the bottom), but antique enthusiasts will easily recognize it as a piece crafted no later than the 1950s by Tallent of Old Bond Street, London. Renowned for its high-quality wooden products—such as music boxes (some featuring dancing ballerinas), humidors, cigar boxes, and pipe stands—Tallent’s creations are unmistakable. While traces of prior use can be noticeable upon close inspection, we have taken great care to refresh this piece, incorporating a subtle modern touch to ensure that the new owner can fully appreciate and enjoy this exceptional find.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below

DUNHILL Cumberland 3103, 2003
The “Cumberland” series is relatively young in comparison to other lines – it was introduced in 1979 and named in honor of Cumberland Street – the street where production and warehouse capacities of the company existed comfortably for many years. But such brindle ebonite stems (“cumberland” stems – also a Dunhill’s invention!) make the series one of the best sellers and an object of the highest attention of Dunhill admirers.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
DUNHILL Root Briar 572, (1960)
A very fine example from the top-grade Dunhill series. Typically, the absence of the year suffix suggests that the pipe was manufactured in 1960, as indicated by some experts, unless it falls within a patent period. However, the most intriguing detail of this pipe is the expertly replaced shank. The quality of the workmanship and the application of the stamping undeniably indicate that the procedure was conducted directly at the Dunhill factory, either as part of the production cycle or as a service maintenance. Perhaps that's why the year suffix is missing.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
CLAUDIO CAVICCHI CC
Nobody can say that Claudio Cavicchi, a farmer from Bologna, Italy, is an impatient man. His profession as a farmer naturally lends itself to the development of a relaxed and contemplative lifestyle. Additionally, Claudio is renowned as a highly experienced pipe smoker and a multiple-time winner of Italian slow-smoking competitions (1983, 1985, and 1988) and World Championships (1989, 1991, and 1993), achieving the best score of 3 hours and 9 minutes (some sources even suggest his absolute record is just a few minutes over 4 hours). However, there was a time when his patience ran out. In 1974, as Pipedia recounts, "He ordered a Caminetto Oom Paul through a local tobacconist, and waited. Then he waited some more. After months had passed and no pipe arrived, he decided he'd waited long enough and made one himself. It turned out great. He had located a single block of briar and a clear acrylic mouthpiece, and he turned them into an Oom Paul that looked precisely like the Caminetto he wanted"Claudio's initial foray into pipe making involved creating pipes for himself and a few friends. However, in the early 1980s, he transitioned into becoming a full-time pipe maker. His dedication to using well-seasoned Calabrian and Ligurian briar, his expertly hand-cut acrylic mouthpieces, meticulous attention to grain and engineering, and his reliance on his own skills and the assistance of his beloved wife, Daniela, catapulted Cavicchi into a prominent position among modern neoclassical pipe makers. Experienced pipe smokers from around the world unanimously agree that Cavicchi pipes are of exceptional quality and never disappoint.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
Mario Grandi
Mario Grandi is not a real person. Mario Grandi is a brand name, or, to be more exact, a sub brand name related to Mastro Beraldi. At the same time Mastro Beraldi is not a real person either. The real name of a real person (and the very hardworking pipe carer!) who stands behind all those names is Aldo Pierluigi. He started carving pipes in the 1970s, all pipes are made from the best Italian briar, all bowls are carved and finished by hand, no templates. Most of the modern pipes from Aldo are marked “Mastro Beraldi”, pipes with Per Imei Amici (“for my friends”) nomenclature are made for friends and the best customers.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below

JOHN REDMAN Redonian De-Luxe
A unique upper-grade pipe from the John Redman pipe factory in London. The finish is well-known today for Ian Walker’s incredibly beautiful “Northern Briars Oriental” pipes. However, as we can see, the idea is much older, and it was implemented at least a few decades before.Di seguito la traduzione in italiano / Italian translation is below
