Jose Rubio 4 New
This is our first new selection of Jose Rubio pipes since 2024. Jose unfortunately was unable to make pipes for the last few years due a combination of circumstances. This new selection by this Spanish master is now on line.
Jose Rubio has been making pipes for over 35 years. His goal was always to create a superb looking pipes that are also superb smokers. He takes great pride in hand selecting only the best grained blocks. All his pipes have a slightly 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 Hamburg Vulcanite and that all stems be between 4-4.2 millimeters thick (at the button) and he 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 grain blocks and a 5 part blasting process that takes him 10-12 hours per pipe. He knows that his deep blasting creates a larger surface area that 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
