Bartlett Pipe Co.: Difference between revisions

<blockquote>"A friend of mine invented and patented a revolutionary smoking pipe that lights from the bottom.   A major manufacturer saw the promise and bought the idea 15 years ago, but it never took off.  My friend got the patent back a few years ago and we've developed a new rock maple version that we call The Freedom Smoking Pipe.  

It smokes cool and easy. A stainless steel screen holds the tobacco and ash in place - nothing falls out.  No moisture or resin accumulate in the bowl. A cork and leather top makes it wind and rain proof.

We had initial success wholsesaling through a well-known distributor.  We were in about 100 tobacco shops nationwide, and appeared in the Levin catalog.  Response from our early customers was strong - mostloved it, some hated it.  Then interest dropped off and left us wondering what happened."<ref>From Adam Hirshan</ref></blockquote>
