About the maker: Since 1863 when Russian immigrant Frederick Charatan first opened his pipe making shop in the shadows of the fabled Tower of London, the House of Charatan has been one of the most respected names in the world of pipes. Known for their unique shapes and phenomenal smoking quality, Charatan pipes have been a favorite of British royalty and common folk the world over for nearly 150 years. This brand has had three distinct identities in its history; there is a distinct pre-Lane Charatan period (before1950), a Lane era (1950-1984 or so), a post-Lane era (1984-present). If you want classic English shapes , generally small and almost always well-made? Charatan made such pipes through the early 1950's. If you seek larger, but still relatively standard-shaped English classics, you can easily find Charatans to your liking made from the 1950's through today.
