Long time pipe smoker, recent member her.
I bought a pipe from Marty Pulver today and I am anxiously awaiting it. I just want to say I spent 10 min on the phone with him, just talking pipes and I was impressed.
He was clear and honest and interested. It was pretty damn cool. I have no interest or relationship with Pulver's Briar but I got a good what I feel is a good deal on an Eltang Cutty and I would highly recommend him.

Awesome. I haven't bought from him, but was strongly considering one before I got a new piece for Christmas. My next pipe will be an estate pipe, and he seems to be a really good source.

Marty is one of the really good guys, knowledgeable and caring. I have been quite happy with the several pipes I've gotten from him, and he is one of the driving forces behind the fabulous West Coast Pipe Show in Vegas.

Marty is one of the PipeWorld's most highly regarded citizens. He's been around forever, knows a ton, is completely reliable, and subscribes to the no nonsense model of communication.

I purchased a Ferndown 1* from Marty and found him to be a squared away individual. Pleasant to speak with and honest as the day is long! Plus georged said he is good to go. High praise indeed!!

And he has a thumb that has replaced Dunhill Groups as the universal measurement of bowl capacity.

I would recommend Marty - Pulvers Briar to anyone, he has sold me many pipes and I've never been disappointed. He has actually steered me away from several pipes that he did not think I would like, based on past purchases. I would also recommend Mike @ Briarblues, both of these sellers are gentlemen and both are very knowledgeable about the pipes they sell.

None better than Marty. He draws from a deep well of experience and has a great sense of humor. I've bought several pipes from him over the years; every one a good smoker at a fair price.

Helluva guy. I used to frequent his shop in SF back in the way, way back. The thing about Marty.....he has unusually small thumbs...like capuchin monkey small. Oh, and never let him hold your drink in a party setting.

I hear he makes a mean pecan pie, just not as good as U.S. Ole Southern Boys make. He cried and moaned so I told him the secret ingredient, finally he left me alone. :rofl: Seriously he is a man of integrity , will tell you what's wrong with the pipe before the good stuff. I have bought many a pipe from him and have always been satisfied.

Known Marty for 20-plus years. Great guy. Straight shooter, to put it mildly. Most of my pipe collection comes from him. No worries with him. The best.

Yoda Marty with the golden thumb! Great guy to visit with and buy pipes from. Witty blogs too.

He makes the hobby fun and interesting.

I got the pipe! It is exactly as described. It is loaded with Dark Star and I will be smoking it shortly. Marty even sent a note with it telling me the stem was tight and to be careful taking it apart.
It was a great experience, this is going to cost me money.
