Hurricane is not exactly a brand but rather a pipe type characterized by an integrated swivel cover. An
H on the stem denotes a pipe produced by
Orlik. These pipes were often made in collaboration with Nutt Products Ltd or were sometimes stamped for Roy Tallent Ltd.
Other brands have crafted or distributed Hurricane type pipes stamped with their own name among which:
