My current interests include fly fishing, reading, and writing about pipes over the Internet via Alternate Smokers Pipes newsgroup and Pipe Digest. I see a great future in this new form of communication and it has begun to change the way I'm doing business already. I can now deal directly with customers as I could never do before. I've met many interesting people who have used computer programs to design pipes. I plan to straddle the line between retailers and direct sales by protecting a retailers local territory. Its a big country and now with the Internet, a big world! I'm sure there's room enough for me to do business without upsetting too many people. I plan to do further writings about people, stories, and experiences I've had in the pipe industry. I've collected some of my writings on pipes in a section called Musings from the workbench. If you're interested, please look for further updates. Time for a new bowl of tobacco. | My current interests include fly fishing, reading, and writing about pipes over the Internet via Alternate Smokers Pipes newsgroup and Pipe Digest.

''Chip states "I asked for two stems: one regular and one a little larger 41/2". Instead, I received a cumberland straight tenon military type curved bit wherein the removable shank extension with the star emblem stays in place and the stem itself removes and the churchwarden stem is then inserted. I purchased the dark blue lucite stem, from Mark Tinsky, afterwards. It looks deep black."'' | ''Chip states "I asked for two stems: one regular and one a little larger 41/2".
