Cinder & Ash

An artisan pipe brand rooted in traditional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to materials. Each piece is designed and produced with an emphasis on durability, aesthetics, and the smoking experience. Our pipes honor centuries-old techniques while incorporating modern design sensibilities.

Cinder & Ash represents a commitment to the slow craft—small-batch production, hand-finishing, and a deep respect for the artisan tradition. We believe in objects that improve with age and use, becoming companions rather than commodities.
