Jose Rubio
We will be offering our first new selection of Jose Rubio pipes since 2020. Jose unfortunately was unable to make pipes for the last few years due a combination of circumstances. This new selection by this Spanish master will is now on line.
Jose Rubio has been repairing and making pipes for over 35 years. His goal was to create a superb looking pipe that was also a superb smoker. He takes great pride in hand selecting only the best blocks. All his pipes have a slight V shaped interior as he feels this is the best shape for the largest variety of tobacco types.
He is almost fanatical about his stems, made from Grade "A" German Vulcanite and that all stems be between 4-4.2 millimeters thick and hand sands the edges. His stems are amongst the best I have ever seen.
His sandblast always have deep ring grain which he achieves by only using smooth straight grains and a 5 part blasting process that takes him 10-12 hours per pipe. He is certain his deep blasting that creates a larger surface area, delivers a cooler smoke. He has recently cut back his production from 90 to 50 pipes a year. Jose Rubio's sandblast are among the best there is. Maxim
