Fujima

I think I spelled the name correctly. The pipes were for sale in a local shop, I believe they came from China. Has anybody ever purchased one of these?

I know Fujima cameras but never heard of a pipe like that. The cameras are not to good, so the pipes might also be!!

Have never seen a pipe made in China that was worth smoking! However, given their abilities, interest in pipes, and heritage of superb workmanship in many areas, I would think that it will not be long until some worthwhile higher-end Chinese pipes enter the market, similiar to how the Russians have evolved in pipe-making.

Rather rare on this side of the Pacific, but I know that Gloredo pipes are beautifully made and have a good reputation among those that are lucky enough to find one.

Leslie was trying to move production from Hong Kong to Shanghai last time I met with him, and production was slowed a bit by the move. But they are an example of a high-end pipe coming out of China.

I've never heard of Fujima, though.

Just found them listed at $3.50 to $4.00. I wouldn't put my hopes up too high. :shock:
