Any of you folks who were smoking pipes back in the late 70's into the 80's remember the chain of pipe shops named Edwards that were all across the US at that time? They were where I started my early pipe smoking after I got started while overseas. I remember that they only sold "Algerian Briar" pipes, all done in a natural finish, even the sandblasts ( they looked alot like Dunhill's Tanshells ) and had about 5/6 grades as well as they only sold their own blends in bulk. No tinned tobaccos at that time at their stores. I still have 6 of their pipes, all top grades, no fills and all with saddle bits. 2 are blasts, one bent bulldog and one straight and two others smooth and one real long Canadian ( almost a 7" shank) and another nice smooth Apple. I smoked a hell of a lot of their "Scottish Moor" blend back then in those pipes! I see they still have a shop here in Dallas but don't list any of their own blends, at least with the names they had then. Just curious if any of you remember them
