Subject: Kabik Pipes

Steve, you'll probably get hundreds of replies to the letter in # 209 about
Kabik pipes, but I'll add what I know.  I can't imagine having one and not
being able to sell or give it away--perhaps that was a joke.  Anyway,
Michael Kabik is a noted American pipemaker of long standing.  He started
his Sven-Lar line in the mid-70s, which are the ones marked "Skulptur by
Kabik."  All these that I have seen are beautiful pipes.  They often (or
usually--I'm not sure) came with their own pipe rest carved from a block of
briar.  Often, in fact, there is a two-pipe set resting in a carved briar
block and facing different
directions.

If you've got one pipe, you're a pipe smoker.  If you've got more than
one, you're a pipe collector.
