Yesterday I visited the guys at Briarville Pipe Repair in Palm Harbor, Florida, and it was a pleasure to meet them and see some of their fine work. I had sent them an old Italian pipe that I picked up on Ebay, and since they are nearby I drove over to pick it up. Rick showed me around the shop, and their work is impressive, to say the least. My old prince looked like it must have when it left the factory all of those years ago, and the price for the refurbishment was very reasonable. I strongly recommend Briarville for anyone who is looking to repair or refurbish that beloved old briar.
