Awhile ago, I purchased a Davidoff pipe of The eBay on the cheap. It arrived in seriously rough shape. The stem had been broken and repaired with a very generous amount of superglue which had worked its way around the pipe. I almost tossed it. I thought even though I'm no Davidoff fan, it could be a good smoker. I sent it off to a Ric at Briarville Pipe Repair in Tennessee. It ended being around $40.... and it was money VERY well spent!! I still can't believe how good it looks!!!! Great work Ric!!! I was even able to keep the original Davidoff signature stem.
