Scorpius - Joao Madail

Living in Portugal, Joao Madail has been making pipes since his retirement in 2010 under the name Scorpius Pipes. He studied under renowned pipe maker Joao Reis, who was trained under many well-known Danish carvers such as Eltang, Ilsted, and the Nielsen’s.

It produces about a hundred pipes a year, smooth, rusticated or sandblasted, but his favorites are the smooth ones. His pipes are signed by laser, and the stem have a SCORPIUS engraved.
