Buying a Kulpinsky (By TseHa)
It was sometimes in Spring of 2003 when I found the first Kulpinski pipe being auctioned on e*** by a pipetrader from Munich. Nice pipe, really! So I googled for "Ryszard Kulpiński" and it wasn't a problem to find his homepage. But to my dismay it was only in Polish and other than "fajka" (pipe) and "fajki" (pipes) I didn't understand one single word.
Well, talking a little Pipish, I understood that Mr. Kulpinski makes really fine pipes, which might be distinguished into groups and described as
- (cheaper) machine-made standard shapes
- hand carved scultural or figural pipes (Autograf) and
- hand carved freehands (Autograf) in a more common sense.
I e-mailed Mr. Kulpinski (in German and English) about his pipes and within two days I received his answer - presumably very kind and polite - in Polish and Russian...
Uhh, not too good. And a repetition didn't turn out a better result. For the moment I quit it.
Now, in December 2004 my sister-in-law Sabine married Richard. Richard, his father a German and his mother a Pole, speaks both languages perfectly. In April of 2005 I dodged Richard (or Ryszard) to the phone and made him ring up Mr. Kulpinski. It was a nice and friendly talk between Ryszard and Ryszard in Polish and afterwards I was told that Autograf 0185 was in stock, Autograf 0099 could be made within 485 conver
