Smoking pipes (and cigars) exclusively for something like 45 years. For a couple of years, I had a small adjunct business repairing pipes. Sold most of the equipment/inventory, thoiugh, when I moved to Alaska and then Wyoming. Now back in Iowa and contemplating retiring, I'm thinking about "re-tooling" and getting back into that plus, also, some pipe making. Plan to be running with this by sometime later this summer/fall. For openers, I plan to fix a bunch of my pipes. I've got somwhere, I think, around 230 plus or minus. A number of which could use new stems.
