Pipes and related accessories continue to be the
fastest growing sector of the specialty tobacco market. We put in
our pipe department in 2002 and began with a dozen
pipes. But in response to customer demand, we have continually invested
in this area and have watched it grow such that today, we have an
outstanding assortment. |

you will find at Cigar Studio. |
|
Brigham Enterprises |
| If you have ever inherited or been given some
old pipes, we guarantee that there is a Brigham pipe or two in the
collection. Roy Brigham began repairing pipes in a small shop on Yonge
Street in 1906 and his pipes have been a staple in the Canadian marketplace
since. The grading system of 1-3 dots lead into their 400-700 Series and indicates quality level and an appraisal
based on its beauty and grain. Brigham pipes have been around for
years because of the variety of styles and great value offered. Their
2001 Christmas pipe is a very handsome pipe that has been created
in the great Brigham tradition. Priced from $59 - $179. |

Butz Choquin |
|
Butz Choquin (pronounced boots show can) is one of the last of
the old pipe making companies from Saint Claude, France. This area
in France was once the pipe making capitals of Europe and many craftsmen
from other countries like Italy would travel to Saint Claude for
work. Founded in 1858, BC makes a complete range of low end to high-quality
pipes using both ebauchon and plateau briar. In the 1950’s,
a family owned company named Berrod-Regad purchased BC and today
they are the largest company in the region. Priced from $50 - $220. |

Peterson |
|
Peterson of Dublin is the worlds most recognized name in briar
pipe making today. Roots go back to the mid 1800’s in Dublin
when the company was known as Kapp & Peterson. While known for
many innovative designs and manufacturing techniques, two are particularly
famous - its patented Smoking System where a secondary reservoir
in the shank traps condensed moisture from the smoke, thereby providing
a cooler smoke; and the Peterson Lip mouthpiece, which directs smoke
away from the tongue while providing a contoured fit for the mouth.
Sterling silver bands are often used as caps or decorative bands.
Priced from $89 - $250. This Christmas we are also showing the Peterson
Collection Matching Set. You should see this set! |

Nording |
|
This was the Danish freehand brand we carried. Eric Nording pipes
are classic styles and his bowls are large – great outdoor
walking pipes. His silverline pipes are handsomely rusticated and
come in a variety of shapes and color grade. Priced from $75 - $129. |
|
Savinelli |
|
Wherever you find great wood carvers you invariably find great
pipe makers and in Italy the name Savinelli is synonymous with both.
Their briar comes from Italy and Corsica. It is dried “naturally”
in open-air buildings for several years before it is used. The Classic
series we carry are shaped by machine and then hand finished. Priced
from $120 – $175. |
|
Stanwell |
|
Another of the many famous manufacturers from Denmark, Stanwell
began operation in the 1940’s. All Stanwell pipes are machine
shaped, hand finished. The Stanwell style reflects bowls that are
distinctively smaller. Designs are very clean and somewhat traditional
in appearance. Priced from $85 - $325. |
