Been puff'n on briar for 13 years or so. Had a collection of about 47 pipes worth 6,000-10,000$ stolen about 5 years ago and been broken hearted ever since. Man I sure loved finding an abused neglected and forgotten pipe at yard sales and such, then breathing some life back in to it with a proper refurbishment. Very rewarding . both financialy and in the collectors since.

Id love to trade some samples.

If you got any blends you dont like you could always send them my way, money is tight since covid outbreak and I don't have a cellar to fall back on. I can only afford 4 oz a month of bulk baccy.
