Tamper exchange
I got my package today. Winton outdid himself with a generous addition of tobaccos. The mushroom tamper not only put a big smile on my face, but my girlfriend thought it was quite wonderful and couldn't stop talking about it.

Pulvers briar.
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.- mirain
