[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 175875"] You would probably have to ask them. But there would be a good chance that they either wouldn't know, or would only know what the importer told them. ("Tell the customer what he wants to hear" is a time-tested sales technique). People familiar with the business pretty much unanimously agree that, once it's cut, there's no way to tell where a given block came from originally. (With the growth of the high-end pipe crafting market, specialised wholesalers have appeared, offering dependably-sourced briar. So the big-name makers of today are in a different situation). FWIW :face: [/QUOTE]
