Dear Steve, et al;

I'd like to put my two cents worth on a couple of questions.  In response to
Morris Acevedo's question about calabashes (calabashi?, calabi?), they are
$57 for a small and $65 for a large in my area.  To Chris Bolstad's question
about Alphas, I own two of the Israeli Alphas.  They are passably good pipes
but, IMHO, I'd rather buy a GBD for less money.  My understanding is that
they are now being made by Sparta of Dr Grabow fame.  The Israeli Alpha's
I've seen are usually fanciful and I think that is their appeal.  I paid $30
each for the ones I have. For those asking about Condor, I recently
purchased a box of six pouches from JR (@15 dollars).  I bought it at their
store, but they may also carry it mail order.  It is, btw, very good tobacco.

Smokingly yours,

Phil Cunningham
