Scottie Piersel is a pipemaker from Kansas City, Missouri. Classic shapes are her focus, though the combinations of materials and finishes are oftentimes anything but classic - Scottie has made a point to imbue her work with a distinctly modern American interpretation of color and variety that is an innovative approach to timeless shaping. In the past few years, Scottie has developed quite a following with her "Scottie" line of pencil-shanked pipes, which are reinforced with stainless steel to make them virtually indestructible. The details are, as all high-end artisan pipes should be, always perfectly executed, and Scottie is truly at the top of her game. She's been featured in Pipes & Tobaccos magazine and her work is award-winning. What else is there to know? Perhaps that she is one of the most genuine people you could ever meet, which makes representing her work all the more gratifying.

A stunner with relief contrast ring grain all around the bowl and a smooth rim sporting beautiful birdseye, this dublin is a squat version that is reminiscent of a pot shaped pipe.

Piersel Pipes "Scottie" Natural Dublin.
|

A rarity among Scottie's pipes is the natural finish, which this dublin displays in stunning fashion. The tight rings of sandblasted grain are about as good as they come, and allow the underlying straight grain to show through. Contrasted with a blue-green ebonite stem, this pipe is a clear, beautiful, lightweight stunner.
Overall Length: 7 1/2" Overall Height: 1 11/16" Outer Bowl Width: 1 3/8" Chamber Diameter: 3/4" Chamber Depth: 1 3/8" Weight: 1.12 oz/31.7 g Price: $600 SOLD |
Piersel Pipes "Scottie" Magnum Egg.
|
|
This pipe is somewhat paradoxical - magnum in overall length, but the chamber is firmly in the medium to large range. The stain is somewhat lighter in person than in the pictures, with a dark-stained cross-grain blast paired with a grey ebonite stem.
Overall Length: 10 5/16" Overall Height: 1 9/16" Outer Bowl Width: 1 1/2" Chamber Diameter: 3/4" Chamber Depth: 1 5/16" Weight: 1.71 oz/48.4 g Price: $625 |
Piersel Pipes "Scottie" Relief Blasted Rhodesian.
|
|
The rhodesian is a classic in the "Scottie" pipes repertoire, but it's not a shape you see Scottie make all that often. This one has a relief contrast blast that shows off the birdseye grain on both sides of the bowl, and a smooth rim that displays some nice flame grain flowing across it. The stem is an aubergine-purple brindle ebonite which lends some further natural tones to a very earthy-looking pipe.
Overall Length: 8 1/2" Overall Height: 1 3/4" Outer Bowl Width: 1 5/8" Chamber Diameter: 7/8" Chamber Depth: 1 7/16" Weight: 1.47 oz/41.8 g Price: $550 |
Piersel Pipes "Scottie" Relief Blasted Dublin.

This pipe is another example of Scottie's pairing of her rugged relief contrast sandblasting with a classic, clean shape to create a stunning effect. The stem is a khaki, crimson, and navy brindle stem that gives the right amount of interest to pair with the craggy ring-grain sandblast and sea of birdseye that tops the rim. It has a nice capacity, too.
