Zitat:
"Sporting grain that is nothing short of spectacular, and a shape that could have come from the workshop of Per Hansen and Ulf Noltensmeier, this may well be the most impressive pipe I've seen from Grechukhin yet. The heavy cheeks as the shank enters the bowl, the visual weight of the bowl sitting near the bottom, the graduation from the bottom of the bowl to the top of the bowl-- it's all perfect. And, what's more, perfectly mated to the superb straight grain. I've come to expect Grechukhin's pieces to be great values given their quality, but I'm particularly surprised that this piece isn't more expensive. Really, just behold the grain on the right side of the bowl! Stunning work!

Stem Material: Vulcanite Filter: None
Shape: Bent Bulldog Finish: Smooth
Material: Briar Country: Russia


Zitat:
"I really like this short, snub nosed bent bulldog. While solidly Danish in its styling, the 'chubbiness' of it reminds me a little of the Pease-diPiazza series made by Radice. It manages to be both charming and strikingly masculine at the same time-- there's nothing dainty about the pipe, yet it retains a charming elegance that's the hallmark of a great pipe. The grain that encompasses the bowl is very good, with excellent straight and flame gain abounding, with birdseye covering the bottom of the bowl. The olivewood shank cap, paired with the Danish style countersunk stem, is the perfect finishing touch.

Stem Material: Vulcanite Filter: None
Shape: Bent Dublin Finish: Rusticated
Material: Briar Country: Russia

Zitat:
"I love this shape from PS Studio. It reminds me a little bit of similar squat bent dublin shapes that Former makes. The convex rim, faux army mount stem, the juxtaposition of smooth and rough, complementing colors and textures, all combine to create a very special pipe. Sporting fit, finish and engineering that one would commonly associate with a pipe sporting twice the price, this is also a rather remarkable value at less than $200.

Zitat:
"An elegantly shaped, compact bent apple sporting proportions that are particularly alluring, this piece from PS Studio is yet another example of why we've fallen hard for the pipes that are coming from this workshop. The fit, finish and engineering are all exemplary, the faux horn mount complements the black rustication beautifully, and the chamfered smooth rim is the perfect finishing touch.

Stem Material: Vulcanite Filter: None
Shape: Rhodesian Finish: Rusticated
Material: Briar Country: Russia


Zitat:
"I really try not to spend too much time talking about prices in my pipe descriptions. I've long been of the opinion that the pipe must stand on its own merits regardless of price. Still, sometimes the quality relative to the price is so remarkable that it begs to be discussed. Quite simply, this is an amazing straight rhodesian shape for less than $200. Sporting excellent fit, finish, engineering and detail work and a beautiful Danish modernist inspired shape, this would be a value at twice the price.

Stem Material: Vulcanite Filter: None
Shape: Pot Finish: Rusticated

Zitat:
"With a bowl shape that screams S. Bang to me, this lovely, smaller piece also features PS Studio's beautiful, regular dimpled rustication. Sporting fit and finish that we'd expect on pipes starting at twice the price, we're floored by how impressive these pipes are. With shaping, finishing, and engineering that would stack up well as Danish high grades, but available at prices that are far lower, these guys in St. Petersburg are definitely on to something!

"Sporting impressive grain and a shape that reminds me a great deal of Former's work, I couldn't be more happy about this piece from PS Studio in St. Petersburg, Russia. The grain is extremely good, with fine straight grain covering both sides of the bowl. The faux army mount stem and acrylic faux horn ferrule are the perfect finishing touches to an already impressive pipe.
