Chheda Pipes are produced in Columbus, Ohio currently by Premal Chheda and Bill Shalosky in the Chheda Pipe Workshop. Each pipe is completely hand made from the finest materials available. Premal has been making pipes since 2003 on a limited basis, and Bill Shalosky started under Premal's guidance early in 2007. Both makers have experience in tooling and woodworking, and they have honed their skills to make the best possible pipe in terms of construction and finish. With his experience as a high grade pipe supplier, Premal has a very strict quality control for each and every Chheda Pipe. The stems are Hand-cut from top grade German Ebonite & other fine materials, and each pipe is marked "CHHEDA USA" and with a three digit stamp in the order it was made. Both Premal And Bill have an affinity for the Classics & Freehand Designs, and each Chheda pipe is Unique in shape & Finish.
