Bruno Nuttens
Bruno Nuttens’ pipes are distinguished for their ability to stand out while spurning ostentation. They attract you not like a beam of light, but the gleam in your interlocutor's eye amid stirring conversation. It always speaks volumes when traditional shapes still show the mark of the craftsman—not with a signature emblem, but with signature grace.
Nuttens began in pipe restoration, from which he went on to crafting pipes of his own from preturned stummels. His Heritage and Vintage series are made from such stummels, well aged for 30 or more years in Saint Claude.
Additionally, Nuttens’ handmade pipes are impeccable. From classic shapes to his signature twiggy style, each has a personality all their own.
