Steve:

Re. your wish that someone would send me Beans tobacco. My customer
who said he had some, hasn't.

However, some detective work has revealed that while there is no stash
of tobacco left, there are a lot of the pipes!  They are now called
"Smoke Masters" and sold by Sparta Industries. They have a bunch of
them left over. They are not marked LL Bean.  Price is $6.95 ea.  plus
shipping: straight or 1/4 bent Dublin. Call Dan Finney, VP Marketing,
at 919-372-5521, ext. 254.

>From my experience these are great pipes if you're working or playing
outdoors. At the price, you can afford to drop one overboard, even.

Still looking for Beans tobacco and would be glad to take a shot at
it. I need a couple of pipesful to try and copy.  Best,

Craig

Let me not to the true marriage of pipe smokers and their tobacco
admit impediments.
