Briar Pipes have been around for over a century.  Many Pipe Carvers have come and gone over the years.  I am one of those carvers that will try and leave my mark in the pipe world.  Using different materials such as acrylic and metal, I incorporate an eye catching inlay or band on the pipe or the stem.  Thank you for your interest in my pipes and thank you for visiting my site.

I would also like to thank all the great friends I have made in the Youtube community.  Their support in my pipe making endeavor means a great deal to me.

This pipe is a tribute to my good friend Salam, better known as One Man Smoke on youtube.  This pipe comes in different
shapes.  A deluxe Poker and Billiard shape is being currently produced.  The pipe includes a white and black ring and a wide metal band.
