The International Pipe Show on Lake Como Brings Together the World’s Finest Craftsmanship

Against a backdrop where the beauty of Lake Como meets centuries of craft tradition, one of the most prestigious international gatherings dedicated to the world of pipes takes place. The International Pipe Show – Lake Como is now an essential reference for collectors, artisans, makers and enthusiasts seeking to discover the best of contemporary production and celebrate a cultural heritage that remains very much alive.

Organised by the Smoka Pipe Club, the event brings together leading master artisans and international brands, offering a unique opportunity to discover new creations, admire exceptional pieces and exchange experiences with enthusiasts from many countries. More than a commercial exhibition, the International Pipe Show has become a meeting place for tradition, innovation and friendship.

The 2026 edition, held from 19 to 21 June at the historic Teatro Sociale in Como, once again brings together some of the most important names in the world of pipe-making. Over three days, visitors and participants can explore exhibitions, maker presentations and club gatherings in an atmosphere where outstanding craftsmanship naturally takes centre stage.

For the Real Cachimbo Clube, the International Pipe Show is one of the finest examples of the vitality of pipe culture in Europe. In one of Italy’s most beautiful settings, tradition, elegance and craftsmanship come together to show that a pipe is much more than an object: it is a cultural heritage, an artistic expression and a meeting point for people who share the same passion for living time without haste.
