When the Cristiano family came to America from Calabria, Italy, in 1968, they brought with them a wonderful and unique talent: pipemaking. As the maestros of this craft, the Cristiano family have for nearly two decades, shaped and honed the rare, beautiful -but tough- briar root into some of the world’s most valued and treasured pipes. They have practiced their art at Calabresi Smoking Pipes, Inc. creating handsome wooden pipes for the largest pipe companies, as well as custom designing pipes for individual special requests.

The Cristiano’s briarwood pipes are magnificently crafted by both hand and machine from the root of the wild briar shrub, which grows only in the Mediterranean region. Shrub harvesters cut the root into chunks that are selected by pipemakers based on the grain and quality of the wood.

From a humble beginning in a garage in Long Island, New York, Calabresi Smoking Pipes, Inc. has grown to become one of the leading pipemakers in the world. The lush, savory taste of rare briarwood combined with stylish designs make Calabresi pipes unmatched among smoking implements.
