ASTRA Pipe is a new company from St. Petersburg. Born in 2021 as a result of the meeting of Denis Kosikhin, a major pipe enthusiast and collector, and Andrey Grigoriev, a pipe craftsman, ASTRA Pipe is the only company in Russia that mass-produces briar pipes. The company's mission is to create uniquely designed pipes with the aesthetics of craftsmen who produce hand-made pipes at affordable factory prices. Combining classic technologies and innovative solutions, ASTRA enables the creation of shapes rarely seen in mass production. ASTRA's model range includes both classics and avant-garde designs like the "Reverse Calabash," as well as shapes never before mass-produced but familiar from hand-made pipe holders.
