I recently found Martins pipes on Instagram and I couldn’t decide between two of them so I ended up buying both! And boy am I happy!! They just came in the mail the other day and they are absolutely stunning. These are my first artisan pipes and I couldn’t be more pleased. Not only is Martin an incredible artist and craftsman, but he has excellent customer service as well. I have yet to smoke one but I can tell they’re going to be fantastic smokers. And I’ll be able to admire them and enjoy them for years to come.

Midden juli kocht ik deze prachtige pijp van Martin Romijn. Dat zeg ik niet alleen, veel kennissen vroegen al waar ik deze mooie pijp kocht.
Ze is lekker kort, mooi hout en met een mooie berken tussenring, uitstekende afwerking.
Inmiddels heb ik de pijp ingerookt en ik moet zeggen, ze rookt prima. Ze is licht, ligt lekker in de hand en ik ben er zeer tevreden over.
Op dus naar de volgende Martin Romijn pijp. Hopelijk kan ik er nog eens een van kopen.

Ik kocht al mijn pijpen over de grens. Duitsland, Denemarken, Engeland, Italie. Niet wetend dat de beste pijpmaker gewoon in Nederland woont.
Martin maakt fantastisch mooie pijpen. Liggen goed in de hand, roken super en zijn mooi om te zien.
Daarnaast is het plezierig zaken doen met Martin.
Martin heeft er een nieuwe fan bij.
Happy pipe smoking.

Yesterday a perfect straight pipe by Martin Romijn arrived at me house. The lining and flame are perfect, straight grane. With it’s beautiful mouthpiece and sublime drilling is has a smouth and dilightful draught. It really is a beauty. The service of Martin is like you only find with true Gentleman. I can recomand a pipe by Martin Romijn for all your relax moment. A happy pipesmoker from the south of The Netherlands.

Thank you Naud! Enjoy your pipe!!

What can I say? My green pipe and I, love at first sight...

A shared history in the Marines made Martin and me Brothers in Arms. I followed and admired his stonecarving skills, he did my inlaws honor by creating their headstone. When he started his "hobby" piperestoration, he did that as passionated as could be. When he started creating his own brand of pipes, a star was born! Please continue!

Thanks Peter! QPO

Ik heb deze pijp nu een maand of 4 en merk dat het één van mijn meest favoriete pijpen is geworden.

Hij blijft koel met roken, ligt comfortabel in de hand en ook tijdens het in de mond klemmen, voelt de pijp niet zwaar aan.

De afwerking is super.

Een pijp van Martin uniek en van hoogwaardige kwaliteit, je 'proeft' dat de pijp met liefde en passie is gemaakt.

Ik vond het ook leuk om de pijp persoonlijk op te halen bij Martin en het 'verhaal' erachter te horen.

In de toekomst zullen er zeker nog wel meer van deze bijzondere pijpen van Martin aan mijn collectie worden toegevoegd.

Een absolute aanrader!



Met vriendelijke groet

Dank je Yorrick, geniet van de pijp!!!

This is my 2nd pipe purchased from Martin. Having been a big fan of his tamper work & the fact that he was a genuine gentleman to do business with I purchased the first pipe he offered for sale. I was very impressed with his pipe making skills from the start, but having purchased my 2nd of his pipes, the plump strawberry, I was truly blown away by how his skills had advanced. I would put this pipe on a level with any of the best carvers work I've owned. His refinements to the engineering by opening up the airway more & his stem making providing for an even thinner more comfortable stem. I've had this pipe in my rotation now for some time with 3 of my top favorite US carvers (Brian Ruthenberg, Jack Howell & Rad Davis) & I can attest to the fact that it easily can hold it's own against the best in my opinion. The hand feel & smoking quality of this pipe, along with a very comfortable acrylic stem have moved it into the upper echelon of my collection. Quite impressive work!

Thank you very much Jeff!!

Difficult to know where to start. Pipes are a simple hobby and I’ve enjoyed it for a short time now. However I was in the market for a new pipe, a quality one. Peterson’s are cool, but all are the same. Other brands are nice as well, but made by machines, or very impersonal in their business dealings.

It’s at that point where Martins pipes stood out to me. Not only were his pipes aesthetically pleasing in every way, but I was eager to discover if the aestheticism was a reflection of its performance. WHAT A DISCOVERY. I don’t know how else to put this but why would you buy any other pipe? All of Martins pipes are ONE OF A KIND. He works his heart and soul into each of these! Precision in every step. My pipe has become my favourite and out paces all my others by miles. Smokes cool (thick walls, generous chamber), Ergonomic and comfortable in my hand, perfect mouthpiece and light so clenching is too easy, and truly durable in quality. This review does not encapsulate everything. Romijn pipes are cheaper than most high ends, with triple the value. I can’t go back to anything else. DONT THINK TWICE BUY ONE OF HIS PIECES (his tampers are artwork and practical in usage, an absolute treat that compliments his pipes as well)

Prachtige mooie pijp van een bijzonder vriendelijke man.

This is my First Freehand Craftsmanship. A marvelous work by Martin Romijn. It a Chubby pipe with thick walled Tobacco chamber and a nice Masur Birch extension. Today i received it and smoke it. Its a beauty when you hold it on your hand. A really nice work, nice shape with nice finish.

The pipe smoke very cool and the heat not come to your palm even if you smoke fast with a Virginia in the bowl.

Absolutely well done Marin, i shall come back for more of your work in the future, thanks for now.



Warm Regards,
