our purpose
A culture of connection. —
Smokestead exists to revive and further the culture of pipe smoking, and connect the next generation of hobbyists with the artisans that work tirelessly to keep the community alive.
We have the utmost respect for our artisan partners, which is why we ensure that they are empowered to promote their craft by giving them a direct line to you.
How our model benefits everyone involved.
Leading the path for newcomers and seasoned hobbyists alike is a big undertaking – and we’re not shy about it.
The only way to create the connection we aspire to create is to ensure that each and every one of our artisans values quality in the same way that we, you, and other hobbyists do.
Our sustainability initiative hinges on two pillars: longevity and ethics.
Every pipe featured on our website is ethically hand-made by a talented craftsman who used the highest quality materials – there’s no place for mass production here.
This also means these pipes are built to last – so you can continue the tradition yourself, years into the future.
Every artisan is a unique human being, with a distinct methodology, creative style, and purpose – just like every one of us.
Smokestead aims for this to be one of the defining qualities of our model. We help you find artisans and pipes you connect with.
