It wasn't the greatest time for a pipe shop as it was the end of the Reagan Era. So just say no and tobacco was out of fashion. He had some good stories. Fuente Sr and his daughter of cigar fame visited his shop. He was part of a group of guys that all smoked pipes and he started his own shop to cater to that group. He was a purist. No cigarettes. Just pipes and cigars. Had some gorgeous pipes. In the period of all of the Danish pipes. He quit smoking in the 90's and cleared out his collection of about 250+ pipes. Wish I had some of them still but I had no interest at that time. I have the only one he kept. A Ben Wade Majestic Designer series that he always said was his best smoker. Smooth bent apple.around here saying your dad had a pipe shop growing up is like telling normal people you where raised by magical fairies in candyland.Welcome aboard.
Where are you and where was the shop?
