Sad news....but, it may not be all that bad. I would think that they probably have quite a few bowls already turned and ready for market. So, whoever takes over will not be starting from scratch and we will probably not see that much of a difference in pipe quality during the transition...

Hello and welcome. You may want to talk with Mark Tinsky on the art of fly fishing while smoking. I'm sure he can give you some pointers on keeping your pipe dry. :) Randy

I have one pipe that has a very special place in my rack. It was a Christmas gift from my Mother. Nothing really special about the pipe itself. It's a Karl Erik bent. Came off of the wall at a local B&M five years ago. It's an OK smoker, but probably because I don't smoke it all that often...

1792 seems to age very well after a few years. :) Currently, I'm smoking some 965 from 1997. The years have been good to this blend. The different tobaccos have aged well together. It has a very mellow "kick" and is full of flavor. Randy

Adam, I just saw this thread, my prayers will be going out for Ella and the rest of your family. O God of heavenly powers, by the might of your command you drive away from our bodies all sickness and all infirmity: Be present in your goodness with your servant Ella, that her weakness may be...
