On the other hand, artisanal pipes are handmade by master craftsmen, who pay particular attention to details and material selection. Artisanal pipes tend to be more unique and personalized, while industrial pipes are more uniform and standardized. Additionally, artisanal pipes are often considered of superior quality due to the care and attention devoted to their production.
