Kevin: This is a very nice site and I'm glad for the serendipity that allowed me to join the forum early on. BTW, I love Simenon's Maigret novels (sadly not as popular today as they once were) and enjoyed S's description of his pipe-smoking creation in one of the Pipe quotes of the day. This is the first time I read it. I particularly like the Colonial/Canadian style pipe on the logo. I've got some similar shapes: two Stanwell Colonials and a Savinelli Porto Cervo (sp?)smooth. They're among my very favorite puffers.
