As a fan of local brick and mortar pipe and tobacco shops I took a trip to Chattanooga Tennessee and a friend recommended a tobacco shop called Scenic City Cigars and Social located at 7912 E Brainerd Rd, Chattanooga, TN 37421. The owners Jason and Rob have created a shop like none other. As Jason was helping me with their very nice pipe collection I was introduced to an incredibly talented artistic pipe maker by the name of Crow Johns. Now Crow has only been making pipe for three years and completely self taught. How do you compare a Van Gogh to a Monet, or a Dali to a Picasso. Crow puts his artistic twist to some very traditional shapes and creates a smoking piece of art. Following some great pipe makers over the last 22 years. I would put Crow in the same class of Ron Fairchild, Mark Tinsky, Clarence Mickles, and my personal friend Larry Comeaux, I look forward to see Crow continue to develop his art and grow to be a top tier pipe maker. His brand is Smoking Crow Creations https://www.smokingcrowcreations.com/, check him out and tell him I sent you. He will be at the Chicago International Pipe Show 2026.
