Traditional and Freeform Hand Crafted Pipes by Colin Rigsby

 
For many of you, a pipe is not just a pipe, but a gateway to the past; perhaps a good memory or a reminder of a gentler time. A constant, cherished friend that is always there to give you comfort. I also have a great passion for pipes. For me, a pipe is these things and more; natural beauty, an art form, history, and most importantly, a favored vessel for your favorite tobacco blends. A good pipe will smoke well, whereas a great pipe will also feel good in the hand and be pleasing to the eye while providing a memorable smoking experience./Users/shurewoodbriarpipes/Desktop/copperplate


Nature provides the pipe maker beautiful briar to work with. It is my pleasure to take this material and create wonderful smoking, feeling and looking pipes. My greatest hope is that you find your next “old friend” within my collection.

For many of you a pipe is not just a smoking instrument, but a gateway to the past. Maybe your father or a favorite uncle was a pipe smoker and you can still smell his tobacco when you think back with fond memories. I also have a great passion for pipes; The art, the tobacco and the memories. A great pipe will allow you to not only relive those memories but enjoy them again and again for years to come. The great pipe feels good in the hand, has an open draw and allows the flavor of your favorite blend to take over your smoking experience. I craft my ShureWood pipes to do these things and more.

Enjoy the site and please check back often. I look forward to hearing from you!

 

There is freedom in smoke,
