My name is Chris Askwith, I live in Plymouth, in the South West of England, famous as the place where the Pilgrim fathers left for America. I have been making pipes since 2007. I started pipe smoking in 2006 and due to necessity more than anything else I started restoring estate pipes. Luckily I found many of my tools I used for silversmithing and other hobbies could be pressed into service to clean and repair estate pipes. In 2007 I started to attend meetings of the South West Pipe Club where I had the good fortune to meet an American pipe maker living in Cornwall, Paul Hubartt of Larrysson Pipes. It was Paul who gave me the opportunity to make my first pipe, and indeed the first dozen or so Askwith pipes were made using his tools. The money made from selling these pipes was ploughed into equipping my own workshop at home and now all Askwith pipes are made in my workshop in Plymouth, although we still get together regularly to swap ideas and new techniques.
Askwith Pipes are made using briar, English morta or strawberry wood and sometimes olive wood, airways are drilled to 4mm. Polyester, Lucite, Ebonite, Cumberland and Horn stems are used, very open inside and funneled at the bit. They are usually fitted with delrin tenons for ease of insertion and removal. I use a variety of exotic woods and metals for stem and shank accents.

Pipa Croci pipes are created by Paolo & Gianni Croci from Mantova, Lombardia. The company was founded in 1983 and on each pipe you will find the nomenclature reads "dal 1983". Each and every pipe is hand crafted from aged Italian Plateau Briar. This is a company that makes no two pipes alike and they truly create some masterpieces. In their own words:
"The Pipa Croci is an artisan enterprise. The pipes which are born from our hands are all differnt from each other. This means that the owner of a Croci pipe possesses something totally unique." -

We are very excited to incorporate the craftsman Dirk Heinemann to our small selection of craftsmen. We bring you some of the his pipes exclusively for SybaritePipes. The Heinemann´s pipes are a rare blend of a complex equation, where the architecture is executed with mathematical accuracy and a work of contemporary art where the sinuous shapes take center stage. Dirk is a nice guy with a kind hearted treatment, a young and modern kid. But he takes his job very seriously their pipes have a fresh look and a very actual design but also has taken care of every line detail with obsessive meticulousness. Heinemann is now a pipe craftsman with a promising career but is called to be soon one of the biggest names in the pipe worldwide.

Gustavo Cunha is friendly and talkative, cordial and polite. He is a young man of only 27 years and however, it is surprising, his deep knowledge and passion with which explores topics that interest him, always aware that it has more to learn than what he knows. For three years he has focused his interest on the pipe and has not wasted time. His academic background in design and experience in furniture design, for he worked with wood and tools were not strangers to him. But he wanted to deepen and this led from Belo Horizonte (Brazil) to Denmark to visit and learn in Tom Eltang´s workshop. Gustavo is well aware that we live in a globalized world and that technology allows us to be close though thousands of miles separate us. This has allowed him to make good references and learn from artisans with more experience than him, He told me that he thanks Chris Asteriou, Konstantinos Anastasopoulos and Eder Mathias for the help and assistance given to him. Upon his return to Brazil from Denmark in November 2013 and since then, he has been making pipes professionally. His style is sober and focused on the classic forms of English traditionally shapes and yet influenced with the lightness and fluidity of liquids forms so typical of Danish school, a elegant and superb mixture. Gustavo is a meticulous craftsman, retailer and technically gifted. Doubtlessly a Martelo pipe is a well made pipe, with attention to detail and flawless but with an added bonus. Gustavo pipes carry his signature, are equipped with a special personality that makes them unique. I am convinced that in the coming years we will hear a lot of good work Gustavo Cunha
