Alan Brothers Supply Co. - A Brotherhood Built On Briar

October 20, 2016 by Shane Ireland in Makers and Artists

Smoking a briar pipe is a luxury. Though it's a luxury that few appreciate in this day and age, those who do so tend to be the sort of individual who cherishes moments of reflection and contemplation. They're the type to value ritual, to seek out quality, and to immediately recognize the sense of community inherent in all pipe smokers. After all, pipes are not just smoking instruments; they're not simply beautiful objects, either. Pipes are often a catalyst for community and shared experience.

Some brotherhoods are formed by blood, others kindled over a briar. Alan Bros. Supply Co. is the product of both.

When Jeff Gracik of J. Alan Pipes and his brother, Jeremy, founded Alan Brothers Supply Co., their goal was just that: to create a range of luxury products that help bring folks together through shared experiences — much in the same way the brothers have reconnected over the years through a briar and a bowl of their favorite pipe tobacco.

With a range of four beautiful, iconic designs, the Alan Brothers' aesthetic leans heavily on Jeff's re-imagining of classic forms through a modernist lens. Whether you're drawn to the minimalist straight or bent Billiard, the plump Tomato, or the sweeping Danish Horn, the results are inviting, timeless, and above all welcoming. It's the comfort of returning home after a long trip, the nostalgia of reuniting with old friends, and the excitement of a new adventure — all in the palm of your hand.
