Established in 1953, a family business located in Brebbia, Lombardy, Italy, founded by Enea Buzzi and now run by his son, Luciano Buzzi.
All these pipes are hand crafted and finished to the highest quality.
The workshop turns out 14,000 pipes a year from primarily Ligurian Italian briar.
Brebbia continues a 60 year tradition of pipe making, using machine lathes for the early stages of the pipe production while finishing each piece by hand.
The Oom Paul was named after Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger, a general and president of the South African Republic from 1883-1900. Oom, or “Uncle”, Paul pipes are also called Hungarian. Kruger was a famous fighter against the English during the Second Boer War and an avid chain smoker. South Africa, while known for their export of diamonds, was also a major player in the briar pipe market. It was for all of these reasons that the Oom Paul was named.
Presented in an original Brebbia pouch and box.
