I recall learning that he was ill some time ago, but I suppose I was anticipating hearing that he had recovered. The pipe world, and the world at large has lost a talented artisan, and a good man. Gemilut Chassadim.

I too am deeply saddened to learn of this news. Back in 2012 I commissioned Yuriy to make this beautiful Billiard. I remember how concerned I was thinking it might get lost in the mail. Ironically it arrived in 10 days. We corresponded several times via e-mail and he was extremely wonderful to work with. This pipe has now become even more special to me, and I feel so lucky to have it!

Such a gorgeous work of art-- just look at that ring grain! You are indeed fortunate to have it. Thanks for sharing!

rothnh,

Yes I have taken this pipe out to smoke this weekend in honor of Yuriy....

BTW that is not ring grain but Yuriy owns special time consuming rustication process that made his pipes so special. I read somewhere he said he wished he would have mastered the sandblast technique. I surly am not going to fault him because his rustication was amazing. Now the search for more Yuriy Aksenov starts now!

Nothing wrong with that. Look at J.T. Cooke's alleged "ring grain" technique. Me? J.T.'s marvelous ring grain is a judiciously applied rustictation.

Whatver one's opinion on this, both look marvelous nonetheless.

I just noticed this. My condolences to anyone close to him who may read this.

Ironically, I sent him an email on Jan 3 inquiring about commissioning a pipe.

That's too bad.
He was a young man.
