Hey everyone. I sort of have my eye on one of these Hilsons. Supposedly they're left over pipes from the original factory in Holland that closed down in the 60's in Holland, and someone in Texas bought up all the unfinished bowls and gave them stains and stems. Well there's one that has my attention and I thought I'd see if anyone here has had any experience with them. They look quite stunning for the price. And the idea that the briar has been aging around 50 years or so sounds appealing.
