NY and GA Pipe Carvers

[LPcreation]

I wasn't sure where to post this topic so please feel free to move it to a more appropriate forum.

I'm trying to collect some pipes from places I've spent a lot of time. I currently have been living in PA for the past 10 years or so and I've got a couple of Boswell's and a Hackert that I have a PA connection with. I'm trying to figure out if there are any similar carvers from NY or GA, where I've also spent a bit of time in my life.

Is there a site or a listing anywhere that I can find pipe makers from specific states? Thanks in advance!

is a good start. You can also do google searches all sorts of ways and find funky pipe makers you never knew.

Paul Bonaquisti is a carver in NY i think...runs Park Lane Tobacco. You can find some of his stuff on their site here: http://cigarsandpipes.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=3&q=bonacquisti

Looks like Nick at quality briar has a few as well: http://www.qualitybriar.com/pipes/paul-bonacquisti/

May be able to find them other places as well, i dono. Many times i have considered purchasing one of Paul's pipes. I also hope to visit the shop one day...NY isnt all that far really.

If you'd be interested in picking up some pipes from more PA carvers, two that I can highly recommend are Thomas James and Jack Howell. Click their names to get to their sites.

Ditto on Thomas James, nice work and reasonable prices, considering.
