Welcome!

Welcome to my world of pipes. On these pages you will see some of what goes on in my workshop. A bit of work-in-progress, mess-ups (they do happen!) and also some other pipe-related posts.
I love talking about and discussing pipes, so feel free to contact me at charl.chillfactor@gmail.com.

This is a stunning pipe with long elegant flowing lines. The type of pipe that is smoked only at home for those special occasions.

This is a beautiful pipe with nice flowing lines and perfect symmetry. The bit of yellow wood on the front of the bowl actually also worked out to be in perfect symmetry. It is quite a heavy pipe, so definitely not for the heavy clenchers.

This pipe is for smokers with a big craving for our Lady Nicotiana. The bowl size should be perfect for flakes as well. There is some lovely grain on the front left side of the bowl.

I love the brandy shape and this one I am very pleased with. It has perfect dimensions and symmetry. And on top of all the size will enable you to fit it into any pocket for any occasion. It has a little imperfection on top of the shank, close to the bowl, which explains the price.

With a shape like a golfclub, this pipe does not fit in with the elegant crowd. It is a unpretentious, what-you-see-is-what-you-get pipe and has absolutely no flaws or imperfections. It fits perfectly in the hand and is a steal at this price.

Bowl size: 21mm
Length of pipe: 120mm

Africa blackwood is very, very hard and smoke like a dream. This sort of a chubby bent brandy, is very comfortable in the hand and will make a lovely, durable everyday smoking pipe.

I unfortunately didn't have time to get all the measurements of this bulldog. I gave it to a friend who received a little baby girl from the stork about 3 months ago. Why did he get a pipe? Because a dad have to have a pipe!
