Andrew Jurkieweicz, has been making his E. Andrew Briars pipes for over 25 years (''that would make it nearly 35 now, as of 2015''). He learned the art from Jack Uhle ([[Uhle's]] tobacco shop), the best specialty shop in Milwaukee, who was taught by Achille [[Savinelli]]. For a long time he only sold in shops, and he still does today with his cheaper brands. He produces good freehands, and makes 150 pipes a year, working with briar from Italy, Corsica, and Greece (which he buys from Danish artisans, with whom he has a good relationship), and vulcanite, cumberland and lucite stems. Stamp: date + '''''E.Andrews''''' (in cursive), + '''BRIARS'''. | |||
