[QUOTE="bent bulldog, post: 364838, member: 3484"] Thanks for this great piece of research. As a Tinderbox employee\owner in the 1970's and 80's I knew that we had a tiger by the tail with the Caminetto line as we could never obtain enough of them to satisfy the demand. One of the selling points was indeed that it was comparable in quality to the Castello line and having smoked both brands I can tell you that it was as fine a smoking pipe as one could purchase at any price. The briar was so thoroughly cured that it was virtually one of the driest and therefore coolest smoking pipes you could own. It was sad to see the infighting which occurred between the principles of the company but one of the positive notes that resulted was that each player seemed to go on to make some impressive briars under their own names.
