[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 211815, member: 1969"] From the books I read (I suggest looking up authors Ehwa or Hacker for starters) there's some discussions that I've even followed onto the venerable Internets that alludes to briar going through quite a few steps before it ends up at the place where it is finally finished for retail sale. There's definitely blocks of briar that go to (or have gone to, more accurately) England, and get shaped, finished and polished, stamped and boxed-up for sale, but I have no idea which is which. Some lines and periods of time probably do have some lineage that can be traced back. I don't know what it is, and from the aforementioned discussions I've lurked through, there's even some debate about that. Poor records, fluctuating economy/demand, business practices and decisions, all changing through the years make it tough to nail down. I'm not that much a devotee to any line to care that much, I just want it to look good, smoke good, and hell, if some history is attached, I'm alright with that, too. 8) [/QUOTE]
