About the maker:
After receiving a pipe for his 30th Birthday, Sergey Ailarov became engrossed in the collection of pipes and the fine art of Pipe smoking. However, times were not good, and in order to fully enjoy his new hobby Sergey needed to increase the number of pipes in his rotation. One solution was to obtain a pre-bored block and produce his own pipes. This was the beginning of his new profession. Sergey was attracted to to art and expressing his creativity, and studied to become a Jazz guitar player and composer in Vladikavkz, Russia, his place of birth. At the age of 25, he decided to leave his home in the beautiful Kavkaz Mountains to move to Moscow to pursue new opportunities in the fine arts of Painting and Photography in which he equally held a passion for. With the fortunate introduction to pipe smoking, Sergey has transformed all of his fine Arts experiences into what he believes is a very practical and creative form of Art, Pipe making. Symmetry, quality of grain, and practical engineering are apparent in his work. For Sergey, producing pipes is an opportunity to fully express his Artistry in a form that can be enjoyed by all of the senses. He starts the pipe making process by sketching the shape over and over again until he has the perfect copy imbedded in his mind. With a clear image of the shape, he starts to cut the briar into his creation. In each pipe Sergey completes, he imparts a reflection of himself, and he strives to continuously improve as a pipe maker and a person.
