Fiery Cross
Third pipe in the Old sea Dog series, classic shape Poker. A sitter and great smoker...
$US 220
Jan,

I just got done smoking the Fiery Cross. I am completely statisfied and then some with your craftsmanship. I have never had a briar smoke so cool. I am convinced that it is your rustification that contributes to the cool smoking qualities. It also looks amazing in person. The comfort of this pipe in my hand is great too. She has a nice smooth open draw too. What you have done with the poker shape is just amazing. I think I finally found a pipe maker I will be buying from alot in the near future.

Thanks,
Jeff D.

Cape Lark
Nice chubby little bulldog...handy for your small pocket
$US 59.50
Jan,

I smoked the Cape Lark for the first time last night. That pipe smoked amazing. I have never had a first bowl in a pipe smoke that well. The shape and comfort of this pipe is great! I would have paid double for the quality of this pipe. I am going to order the "Red Tiger" soon. Thanks again for the great service. You really do go above and beyond.

Thanks,
Jeff

Cape Horn
Half bent sandblast, well balanced lightweight pipe...
$US 59.50
mister zeman was a victim of my curiosity and stubbornness and i really do have to thank him for making me a "cape lark" pipe that actually was already sold out and for sending it to me at a very gentle price just half around the world from new zealand to germany. the second pipe i ordered is the "cape horn"! it's about twenty pipes i own by now from stanwell to dunhill and i just have to say that the cape horn is simply something just greatful simple and sexy!!! i love it best!!! thanks a lot!
yet i smoked it with a tasty german tobacco with a heavy cake and caramel aroma of nut, nougat, cream and butter . . . goreous! and right now i'm about to try it with a cool and dry davidoff english mixture . . .
more, more, more . . .

A surprisingly lightweight pipe. The briar is low density - as, of course, good briar should be. No tongue bite from the first fill. I really like this pipe. A bargain!

The Hunter "Ultima"
"Signature" pipe with a twist...best yet...
$US 1000
That is one heck of a pipe, excellent work! Just as a matter of interest, I notice that the underneath view looks a bit like the grip of a single action revolver, was this intentional? It fits with the "hunter" name if so!

Trilobite
Large Bulgog shaped grooved freehand...
$US 390
Dear Mr. Zeman,
I just wanted to tell you that I recently purchased the Trilobite pipe on eBay. I am extremely pleased with the pipe and I cannot believe that the former owner would let it go. It is a great pipe to display, but it also smokes very nicely (I don't believe in buying pipes to impress people. Pipes are meant to be smoked!) To be honest this is the first time I have run across one of your pipes, but I intend to check your web site regularly. All your pipes demonstrate an artistic sense as well as wonderful craftsmanship. Perhaps I will be lucky enough to own another in the near future.
Sincerely,
Frank Simonie

Fiery Cross
Third pipe in the Old sea Dog series, classic shape Poker. A sitter and great smoker...
$US 220
Hi Jan,

Firstly, I have never complemented you on the Fiery Cross which I purchased last year. An excellent pipe Jan, it smokes very well and is beautifully made, thank you!

Secondly I must say how much I have enjoyed watching your two DVDs - especially "Masters of the North". I look forward to visiting Copenhagen myself - but, may I ask if you're aware if there are to be any further pipe shows in Europe this year?

Best wishes, Malcolm

Thanks,

North Cape
Classic Rhodesian in my new Rustic Black finish, well balanced pipe...
$US 59.50
I just received my North Cape yesterday and can already tell that this pipe will be a regular in my rotation. This pipe, along with my Cape Lark, are two of the best smoking pipes I have ever had.

Odyseus "Superia"
Stunning cross grain, Cumberland stem...
$US 595
Jan,
Years ago I started smoking churchwardens and when branching out made the
amateur mistake of thinking that a good pipe had to be expensive to be good.
So I got all these ornate briar pipes from big name carvers that I really
couldn't tell you how bad they smoke. Then I got a cheap Karl Erik freehand
and it has hardly left my hand when reaching for a pipe in 8 years. Nothing
fancy, just a large, slightly ugly freehand, that smokes like a dream and
fits really well.
I bring this up because I think your pipe is even better. Not just in the
looks, which are stunning, but in the way it fits my hand. It's like it was
made for it. The perfect pipe for my hand, and well worth the price. I can't
believe what a work you have created. It will be a favorite if not THE
favorite for years to come and I am very grateful.
Thanks Again,
Steve Brogdon

Siroca
Blowfish in a sandblast, acrylic stem...
$US 295
I LOVE this pipe and am angry at myself for not finding it first. I am jealous and envious of the lucky man that beat me to it.

Where to begin? The shape of this pipe is exquisite - the "S-Shape" curve formed from the front of the bowl to the bit is what I see first. The pipe is sandblasted at all the right locations and the color is perfect. A handsome 2-tone stem is the "correct" transition for this pipe. Last but not least, the seal located on the right side of the shank adds that finished unique and sophisticated touch.

I would buy this pipe for $295 US in a heartbeat.

On a sidenote, your website design is top notch as well. very well laid out with plenty of quality picturs to do your craftsmanship justice. I'm sold!

$US 220
Great site; well organized and nicely displayed information about lovely pipes. And considering that in my city in the North of Chile there is not so much to choose from regarding to Pipes. The sea dogs and the latitude 41 are great; I will get one in the future.
I would love to have more information about your pipes; Good Smokes

Dear Mr. Zeman,

Iam more than happy to have come over your site. Truely it is so well presented and organised. Even more is your dedication to the info you attach with every pipe and the various pictures you offer are all quality work. I have even read your suggestion on how to break in a new pipe and i found it to be a very sincere explaination. I had to thank you for your work and for a wonderful site. I hopefully will be coming back to purchase a pipe from your collection. Just wanted to ask regarding the items that are underlined as "Sold" can i still place a request for purchasing any of these items or are they no longer available? Wishing you all the very best. Thanks.

Cape Lark
Nice chubby little bulldog...handy for your small pocket
$US 59.50
I received my new Cape Lark from Jan's Latitude 41 series today. What a beautiful little pipe. Shortly after I opened the box, I loaded the Cape Lark with Squadron Leader. This pipe smokes great. It draws smoothly, smokes cool, and is very light and easy to carry in one's teeth if needed. Great workmanship, Jan.

Mary Celeste
Handy bulldog shaped pipe in black rusticated finish with stem fitted with Palm Tree band...
$US 240
Jan,
I just wanted to let you know the pipe arrived today. It is superb! Again, your pipes have exceeded my expectations! This design with its rusticated pattern is one that I have been looking for for quite some time. The pipe fits nicely in my hand and is very well balanced. A winner! I appreciate you taking the time to carve this for me. The wait was well worth it!

Take care for now. I am sure you we see another order from me come across your desk!

Thanks again,

Gary

Best regards

Utah "Extra"
Delicate frehand with handcut stem...
$US 450
Dear Jan I received Utah 3 days ago. I wanted some time to get to know her and smoke her a bit before I made my comments.Well I think I should simply say that Utah is exactly what I expected.Considering your reputation in the pipe community I expected a high grade pipe that would be exemplary in all ways a pipe could be. Utah has fullfilled my expectations quite well! The form is excellent the function is perfect and both are in harmony here! Utah has some long slowly arcing lines that lend an air of classiness to the pipe! Which make her a great (dress up)pipe.But she has the feel of an old freind at the same time. Utah has been given a spot in my rotation already due to the bowls coating, it works quiet well, and no taste! After just 4 bowls she smokes very nicely! Great job on this one Jan,great,great, job! I will take special care of her!I look foward to seeing more of your work,soon I hope! Kindest Regards Pat

Cape Cod
Half bent sandblast, great smoker, very light... very affordable...
$US 59.50
Jan, Thank you for the quick shipping of my Cape Cod pipe. It arrived so fast that I was able to enjoy it while still on holiday. It is everything you described and a real pleasure to smoke. I think your carbon treatment works well as it smoked well from the first bowl. It is a fine companion!
Now, for a bowl of Nightcap. Thanks again,
Rick Delaney.
