Gord Ferguson's assessment of Kingston's The Pipe and Pouch in the last PD
is accurate in all respects but that of the owner's name.  The Pipe and
Pouch is owned by MIKE Fagan, not Bill Fagan.  Bill is Mike's father and
often tends the store when Mike is out on errands.  Interestingly enough,
Mike happens to be on Rex Poggenpohl's list of american pipe makers (said
list immediately preceeds Gord's description of the P and P in last weeks
digest)!  I own several of Mike's pipes and one of them, made of Ethiopian
bubinga wood, is the sweetest smoking pipe in my collection.  It also has
a bowl large enough to eat soup out of- maybe there's a connection? 
Anyway, I heartily second Gord's endorsement of the Pipe and Pouch and
have smoked many a
hand-rolled cigar in one of Mike's overstuffed chairs.

[ Thanks for the clarification; I had his name as Mike in the Guide,
and wanted to confirm that. -S. ]
