What you get when you purchase a Paul's Pipe!

For many of you that visit my website and are wondering just what I will receive when I purchase a Paulspipe, here's some information.

First of all you get a money back guarantee that the pipe you receive will function properly. Entering my 14th year of pipe making I have only had two pipes returned to me and those were during the first pipes I made! One pipe that was returned was because of a misunderstanding of pipe filter size, and the other pipe is one of my best smoking pipes so I don't know what was up with that? Customer service is top priority to me and I am available to discuss any discrepancies that may occur and will correct immediately. 

Secondly, each piece of wood I hand craft will be free of any internal flaws. I refuse to let a pipe out of my shop if it doesn't meet my strict standards. For instance If I see an inclusion inside the bowl I won't cover it with a bowl coat to hide the imperfection. 

Third, My Hand cut mouth pieces are flawless. Each pipe will have an unrestricted airflow allowing for a perfect smoke even single time! I spend hours meticulously paying close attention to every detail. I want my buttons clean, bite zone comfortable, with no visible scratches. The insides are polished and each pipe passes a pipe cleaner.

Fourth, My bowl coats are simple three ingredients with food grade charcoal being the main part. I rub the coats  into the bowl walls to get a coat that is even and smooth. The airways are free of bowl coat so you can see my precision drilling coming into the bottom of the bowl perfectly. The bowl coats are tasteless even to the most discerning pipe connoisseur and aide in creating a cake. 

Fifth, I pride myself and using only the finest materials that I can obtain. The finest Croatian morta I use is ONLY available to me as an American pipe carver. This is a very special wood and tends to cost more on the average.

Six, I hand make all my leather pipe socks. I source fine leather here locally in Bend, Oregon from Maverick Leather. Each pipe bag is then cut to fit the individual pipe. I hand punch each hole and double stitch with waxed line. The top is secured with paracord and beads. These are very durable soft leather bags that protect your precious pipe from harm while storing them away. 

Seventh, Finally, I include a hand written note, some high quality decals and maybe some other swag that I get from time to time like buttons, etc. 

I want each piece I send away to be treasured as I pour myself into each one. My main goal is that the customer is completely satisfied with their hard earned money. If the customer isn't happy I'm not happy, period. Most people tell me that the pipes they receive have exceeded their expectations! That keeps me motivated and inspired to create more!! Thank you for visiting and perhaps I ca serve you up a fine tobacco pipe one day!
Blessings, 
​Paul
