The One That Got Away

It's no secret that I am a HUGE fan of David Enrique's pipes. I have several and want more. Recently David formed an "Alliance" with renowned French pipe maker Pierre Morel. Together they are creating a very affordable line of pipes. So far they have focused their attention on shapes based on pipes from the early days of great Danish pipe making. They are beautiful and I want one. I had hopes of getting my first one a couple of weeks ago. I found the pipe shown above on David's website and I fired off an email sure that it would soon be mine. Alas- it was already sold. Apparently I am not the only one jonesing for one of these pipes. I will try to be quicker next time ... and keep my fingers crossed ... and maybe live a more righteous life (?). I'll let you know if anything works. -T

Update- It must have been the crossed fingers, I certainly haven't even begun to attempt the "righteous life" idea - or maybe the pipe god's just smiled on me. A sort of heavenly whim. Anyway, the pipe will soon be winging it's way from France to my old Tennessee home. :)

Garden & Gun + Pipe Smoking!

Just subscribed to Garden & Gun magazine after several friends told me how good it is. Received my first issue and it is good AND there is this article about Charles Stick, a pipe smoking landscape architect. Very cool! -T

It's always great to see our pipe racks in their new abodes. Here's a couple of recent photos sent from customers. Thanks! -T

Another Good Time w/ Friends

The monthly gathering was, as always, a welcome treat. So good to get together and exchange ideas ... even if they are the same ideas we've been exchanging for years. -T

Smoker's Print

Another one of our cousins sent me this great old print. What a cool "smoking station".  If I had room in my house I think I would try to make one. -T
