Big thumbs up on Edwards. I purchased my very first pipe there.... A "basket" Edwards pipe. I'm headed there perhaps tomorrow.

Haven't checked back with your guys for awhile now. I am happily smoking my Pre-War Custombilt and appear to have any pipe acquisition disorder in check. I occassionally smoke my original pipe that I bought from Edwards Pipe & Tobacco Shop in Tampa as well. Three other ebay estate pipes don't...

I'm going to keep my expenses within reason here. ( Unlike my shaving items). Two pipes now, The Edwards "bargain basket" and a Carey estate pipe from ebay for a whopping $6.50 shipped. The Carey is the type of pipe that I could take when I go fishing and if it fell in the water, I'd say "oh...
