You make very nice pipes. Congratulations. Since the weight of a pipe is very important to me (and I suspect to many other pipe smokers as well) it would be very useful if you could include the weight in grams with the information on each pipe. When I examines a pipe at a BM ("brick and morter" store, I can check out the weight. You're pictures are great, but there's no way to know how the pipe feels in one's hand (or mouth) and at least knowing the weight would help in deciding whether to make a purchase.
Kind regards.

Kloucek 13
Small Freehand, nice grain, silver band...
$US 220
Finally got around to smoke this pipe - excellent smoking qualities; doesn't overheat. Elegant design for a smallish pipe, esp. the "wings" on the stem. Lies well in the hand and is comfortable in the jaw. Quite nice grain! A bargain.

Simply stunning and affordable...
$US 475
Hi Jan,
As you can see I keep perusing your site, drooling over the pipes, and cursing the luck that stops me winning tattslotto!!! LOL.
This is my favourite pipe of all. I know it is wrong to lust for things and so I try not to, but I come awful close with this one.
I have three of your pipes now and love them all.
I think of you and Vera in your wonderful home often, with fabulous memories.
The guys in the pipe club loved the two I bought back.
Thanks again,
Happy puffing,
Norm.

Sarano
Great Pickax, birds eyes galore...
$US 375
This is my first Zeman pipe and will certainly will not be my last. From the first smoke, the draw was smooth and there was not a hint of moisture trap. The pipe fits perfectly in my hand and the attention to detail with the carving and rustication is second to none. I could not be more pleased with my purchase.

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!

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

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!

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

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.
