Visit to InterTabac in Dortmund

Every year in September, we head to Dortmund for InterTabac, and we always look forward to this special day. It's the perfect opportunity to meet the people behind the brands, make new contacts, and share our passion for pipes in person.

Of course, discovering and purchasing exclusive, one-of-a-kind pieces is also an integral part of the experience, which we then bring to our shop for you.

This year was no exception, and we returned home with many wonderful impressions, pleasant conversations, and the most beautiful pipes in our luggage. Our Discoveries at the Manufacturers Our first stop was at Bruno Nuttens. Bruno always brings a selection of beautiful, unique pipes to the trade fair. We selected a handful of his pipes for her and, of course, also packed his popular pipe tampers. Next, we went to Arcadia, the distributor for brands such as Ser Jacopo, Camminetto, and others. L'Anatra and Viprati. We also found what we were looking for here and were able to snag some beautiful pieces. We also discovered some great tampers there and immediately took them home for our shop.

Ein kurzer, aber herzlicher Plausch mit Antoine von Chacom durfte natürlich nicht fehlen. Neben neuen Pfeifen werden wir von Chacom in Zukunft auch Pfeifenzubehör wie Taschen in unser Sortiment aufnehmen. Bei Tsuge gab es ein besonderes Highlight: Wir haben eine handbemalte japanische Pfeife mitgenommen. Ein echtes Unikat, das wir Ihnen bald präsentieren können. Zusätzlich haben wir auch einige Pfeifen aus den Serienkollektionen für unseren Shop eingekauft. After a brief stop at M.K. & Sons, where we talked about the cigar business, the new tobaccos at DTM were waiting for us to try them. We also received a warm welcome at VAUEN from Julia Eckert. We selected some beautiful pipes from the VAUEN Natura series and a few limited edition pieces for you. We also got a sneak peek at the new Shire tobacco, which smelled enticing and is already available from us.

To conclude our visit, we stopped by Kopp's. It's always a pleasure to chat with Thomas Nitsche, the master blender, Erik Stokkebye, and of course, Oliver and Fabiola. Here, too, we sampled the latest tobaccos before the trade fair closed its doors and we headed home with many new impressions.

We're already looking forward to showing you all the new pipes, tampers, and tobaccos in our online shop!
