"When you feel the perfection of nature in its imperfection you are about to discover the key to happiness."
Christian Ruetz | ruetzpipes
pipe maker from Tyrol, Austria
Maybe it was the carving knives of my warm-hearted father-in-law (some call him „Radagast" with good reason) what brought me into a deep connection with nature when I tried to figure out my own pipe making style. Inspired by the perfect imperfection of nature I want to do my bit to make the world a better place via art and tolerance – through creative surfaces, combinations, shapes and messages. Technical finesse, artistically expressed and with a mission: When you feel the perfection of nature in its imperfection you are about to discover the key to happiness.
ruetzpipes: rustic elegance, close to nature tolerance, joyful smoking experience. And: bark, baby!

I like people who have stories to tell, who have scars. Authentic, honest. And this is what my pipes should be.
