Sergey Ailarov is one of the most prominent and successful pipe makers in Russia nowadays. Sergey was born in 1973 in Vladikavkaz, Russia. Fond of art since youth, he studied to become a jazz guitar player and composer. At the age of 25, he decided to leave his home in the beautiful Caucasus Mountains and moved to Moscow to pursue new opportunities in the art of photography for which he also held a great passion.
For his 30th birthday Sergey received a pipe. He was fascinated by the art of pipe smoking and started to collect pipes. The collection needs to grow, and as the times were hard Sergey finds the solution: he takes a whole block and carves a pipe by himself. This was the beginning of his new profession.
Being fond of pipe smoking, Sergey transforms all of his art experience into what he believes is a very functional and beautiful form of art, pipe making. Balance, quality of grain, and practical technology are the key features of his work. For Sergey, producing pipes is an opportunity to express his artistry in a form that can be enjoyed by all of the senses. He starts the pipe making process by sketching the shape over and over again until he has the perfect copy imbedded in his mind. Having a clear image of the shape, he starts to cut the briar into his creation.

If we still have it, when you see this pipe, take a look at the smooth Ailarov bent brandy, that pipe and this pipe are identical in shaping. Sergey should definitely make classes in fitting a tenon, the way it fits the wood in the shank is perfect and can only be compared with the way a tenon fits a higher graded Savinelli. The blasting is not deep, it is however deep enough to just let you in under the surface of the wood, to let you see the perfect ring grain on this piece. The handmade stem work and the horn in the middle piece are masterly made. This is the kind of pipe you would buy and keep in your daily rotation for 40 years or more – a high grade workhorse, that will never let you down.
