Heading to Richmond

Subject: Heading to Richmond Wed Oct 01, 2008 12:35 pm

I'm heading out to Richmond, VA for the CORPS Pipe Expo tomorrow morning. I hope to see you there.

I also have some very exciting news:

I and a very select, knowledgeable, and elite field tester Laughing

have been test smoking some pipes with a revolutionary new stem material.

It is called Tuskanite, and it is as soft, if not softer than ebonite with the same comfort and tooth feel, but it contains neither sulfur nor rubber, and therefore won't need the constant maintenance that vulcanite products require.

It won't oxidize.

All of the ivory colored stems that you will see in the preview are made from Tuskanite. There are two black Tuskanite stems as well (Numbers 2 & 14), but I only got enough black samples before the show to do two stems. More black will be available soon, and I am very excited about being able to offer this product as an alternative to vulcanite.

You can see what I'm bringing to the show here:

Thanks for looking.

Nice pipes and that is cool news about the stem material. Any downsides to it so far?
