Jody Davis is a very good friend and one of America's few Grand Masters. His work is amazing. He has graciously shared his workshop, techniques, sandblaster with me over the last few years. Check out his site to see some of his work and join the mailing list to see what he's been making recently.
Unbeknownst to the majority of the US pipe collecting community, Brad has been honing his skills at the craft for more than thirty years. He reemerged on the high-grade market several years ago and has been taking it by storm. Please cruise over to his brand new site and see what my good friend Brad has been up to.
In June of 2007 pipe enthusiast, Neill Archer Roan, first published his digital ode to his hobby. Since that time the site has grown and developed in to a "must-read" for all web-savvy pipers. Please visit the site to read the fantastic blog articles and contribute to the community that has developed there.

This is the website of famous German pipe collector, Jörg Lehmann. I find the site to be an extensive and detailed resource for all areas of pipe collecting and smoking. Visit the site, especially, to view his large collection of beautiful high-grade pipes and to read the biographies of the pipemakers.
