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.

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.
