    Looking to Buy a Meerschaum Pipe

    If Money Was Not An Issue?

    House of Calabash, Still In Business?

    I just called the House of Calabash to order some tobacco from Steven Books, and their phone number is no longer in service. Does anyone know what's happening there? I know Mr. Books has many fans of his fine blends. I hope all is well.
