About the maker:
In June of 1975, Brad returned
from a pipe pilgrimage to the United Kingdom visiting the many pipe shops and
the venerable firm of Rattray's. With his peaked interest in pipes and
tobaccos, Brad toured New York City examining many of the pipe shops, and he
happened upon a Danish Pipe maker producing pipes in a store window. The
gentleman's name was Finn Meyan Anderson, and he claimed to have worked in the
Larsen workshop in Copenhagen. After a nice chat with Mr. Anderson, Brad
returned home in San Diego to pursue his own Tobacconist Store stocked with
pipes of his own design, and a high quality standard. After pouring over
countless articles and literature of Pipes, including the Pipe Smokers'
Ephemeris, Brad armed himself with information and a backpack and mapped out his
route across country to pursue his dream of pipe making. He walked out
onto the ramp of Interstate 5, and extended his thumb to begin the adventure.
With many stories In-B-Tween, Brad finally ended up back in New York to find Mr.
Finn Anderson, but Finn had left and was reported to be working in Vermont.
By the time Brad arrived in Vermont, Finn was long gone. Fortunately he
was able to join the team of The Briar Workshop, and he was able to learn the
necessary skills as a pipe maker. After a few years, he returned to
California in 1980 to complete a 4 year Tool & Die apprenticeship. Now
he was armed with the knowledge and skills to build a fine Pipe Workshop and
produce exquisitely crafted pipes, however, fate had other plans for Brad which
led to a 16 year career in the computer industry. During this time, Brad
was able to work slowly to perfect his craft making pipes for friends and the
occasional odd pipe repair. Finally, in 2003, Brad created Pohlmann Pipes,
combining the skills learned at the Briar Workshop with the tool and die
training. His pipes are very modern in design, and are produced with the
most precise internal construction. Brad's style is continuously evolving,
and only the finest materials are used.
