V&K

Welcome to our facebook page Dear tobacco and pipe amateurs!

Here you can find our works and express your opinion and suggestions.

The history of our friendship began in the early ’90s in a nouble city of Kyiv. Two students were in Kiev Polytechnic Institute together and have grown so quite close, that became godfathers and worked in one company for a long time.

Our introduction to the culture of pipe and tobacco smoking begun when in 2010 Konstantyn bought his first pipe by Golden Gate.

Quite by chance in 2015 we got on «Pipe slow smoking championship". There we became acquainted with pipe masters and their works. We were staggered and charmed by the world of pipe arts. As a result the same year appeared the tandem of two friends (Vova and Kostya) who started to learn the art of pipe making.

One of the first masters who gave us the grounding and initial experience was Armen Aivazovskii, and similarly "young" to the measures of history, but very talented master Andrey Peshkov.

It is very desirable to mark our Honour and Respect to master Valerii Ryzhenko, who kindly shared with us his experience and knowledge and took us, "young pipemakers", under the wing" of mentoring.

In 2018 we were invited to visit a few master classes by legendary Russian pipe masters Sergey Ailarov and Nikolay Kozyrev. We are greatfull very much for these lessons to our Colleagues.
