A couple of links to Pipe Sites around the world

Le Nuvole and Bonfiglioli
David and Goliath: A small Le Nuvole "Prune" and a
Bonfiglioli smooth Poker, they both are fine smokers!
  
  

 Pipes Digest WWW-page i.e. "www.pipes.org"
Is the starting page of pipe smokers and their mailing list. It contains vast information
about our cultural hobby and all the possible commercial and private sites worth of
mentioning about pipe smoking. It is "a must" for all of us pipe smokers!

 Alberto Bonfiglioli Bologna, Italy
Alberto Bonfiglioli represents the tradition of Italian handicraft at its best.
My first purchase via web was a magnificient smooth, "fiammata" Dublin bent
from Alberto in -96. After that I have bought many pipes from Bonfiglioli and have
never disappointed with them. Alberto is a great person and has an unerring
eye for pipe design. If you are interested, please look here for my other Bonfigliolis

Pipe Le Nuvole di Tombari Maurizio, Pesaro, Italy
Maurizio made pipes for Ser Jacopo, but now he has his workshop
in Pesaro like many other famous artisans. He makes excellently
finished and well smoking pipes.

  Luigi Viprati Brescia, Italy
His web pages are extraordinary beautiful (web master is Alessandro Baici)
with lots of beautifully carved pipes! If you have not yet visited, do it now!

  The Famous Fratelli Bajlini
"Specialized since 1936 in the sale of pipes (dunhill, castello,
bang.....), tobacco, cigars, lighters and pens in Milan, Italy".
Bajlini exists now also on the web! Brothers Bajlini is one of the legendary Italian pipe
shops and it is nice to have them available and linked also on my site.
Strongly recommened especially if and when you are interested in getting some of those
fabulous Castello pipes and why not perhaps also something from other famous makers
in Italy and elsewhere.

"The Italian Pipe Homepage"   in Switzerland
Tarek informed about this brand new site of his after having left Synjeco in Sep.
2000 writing: "This site is devoted solely to high grade, hand made Italian pipes;
I do not intend to sell tobaccos (though my tobacco reviews are available) or
accessories. Though I start with 8 major brands, I intend to expand my assortment
with time, allowing choosing the best of the best."
Tarek is a great guy and knows more about pipes than you can imagine!
This site is a must to every pipe smoker!

  Synjeco SA in Switzerland
Especially if you like the blends from Lake District, England you should peruse the
great assortment of S. Gawith's and Gawith, Hoggarth & Co's blends, which Daniel
Schneider has to offer on his excellent site.

  Dunhill & Castello (and other pipes) Collectors Web Site
"A web site owned by Franco Bolognesi of Milan, a Dunhill & Castello
(and other pipes) enthusiast who decided, after more than 25 year of
collection, to reorganise his pipes giving up those shapes of which
he has a number of examples".
If you want to see really great Dunhills and Castellos, you must
visit this site of Franco Bolognesi!

  Clive Humm London, England
Has an excellent web shop especially if you are interested in
Don Carlos pipes. Also pipes from other makers, e.g. Refbjerg.

 Chet Gottfried Long Island, U.S.A.
His page: "Look Out!" has got many rewards given for best WWW-pages!
Chet and I share many hobbies, but he is among other things
a skilled 3D animator, artist and author, and I am proud to call him
a friend!. His SciFi classic "The Steel Eye", is excellent,
unhappily enough by a not-so-well-known publisher, Space and Time, 1984

  Stuttgarter Pfeifenfreunde 79 e.V./ Germany
This is a great site especially for us Europeans. Michael Mueller has done a great
job here! Warmly recommended!

  Craig Tarler Morganton, North-Carolina
The president of Cornell & Diehl Tobaccos and a nice guy
is a wizard in blending and selling through email pipe tobaccos
He also blends for me, lots of Latakia and a pinch of Perique!
Here you can find an extensive list of the C & D sortiment

 Mark Tinsky Pocono Lake, PA
Creates wonderful pipes. Like Bonfiglioli he is a real magician and guru.
Also a dedicated flyfisherman! Even with a moderate 100 U.S. dollars
you become an owner of a briar sculpture by him!

Altinok Pipe: Genuine Meerschaum Co
Wonderful meerschaums from Ankara, Turkey! A well created site with
many smooth pipes and especially with beautifully carved figures.
Strongly recommended for all meerschaum enthusiasts.

White Pipe: Another meerschaum site
Great looking Meerschaum pipes from Turkey, smooth and decorated.
I love the smooth ones!
