Does anyone know of if there is a repair shop or someone in Houston that can make a stem? I have a Tom Howard that came in an estate lot that needs a stem.

I didn't think there was anyone in Houston, but it was worth asking if I could keep it local. Going to send them out to JH Lowe.

He didn't exactly "lose" his shop.

That's how he (Butera) described his situation to Mike McNiel (the McClelland Tobacco guy)---they were friends for decades and stayed in regular contact---and McNiel related to me. In my world that qualifies as a reliable source.

Lost his briar, too. :(

Mike did if fact loose about everything unfortunately. It's sad but true.
