The German school of pipe making is an eclectic one — ranging from classic English-inspired designs to more sinuous Danish interpretations, often with a modern twist. Our selection of German estate pipes is just as broad, offering everything from Vauens to the legendary, yet seldom-seen work of artisans like Wolfgang Becker, Cornelius Mänz, and Rainer Barbi.

What is an estate pipe, exactly? An estate pipe is any pipe that has been previously owned by someone else, including both smoked and unsmoked offerings. Each estate pipe that we sell has undergone a thorough cleaning and disinfecting regimen before it is ever offered for sale. Estate pipes are generally far less expensive than a new pipe of the same make, thereby representing an excellent value for the money, and for many smokers, a way to sample the wares of pipe makers they might not otherwise be able to afford.
