From: ???????????????????? Subject: PD 221 In PD 221 Michael Stanley wrote about Limited Editions Tobacco Jars: My local tobacconist, FF Piber in Randers has a '82 edition for sale. It is made of porcelain and with same wooden top + medallion as you mention on the '89 edition. Its made by Bing & Grondal (similar to the Royal Danish Porcelain factory) which maybe explains the price- around 150USD without tobacco. You could contact the factory (and Steve, maybe put it on the resource list): A & C Petersens Tobaksfabrik Norgesvej 10 DK-8700 Horsens, DENMARK And John Graham wrote about bamboo shanks: Stanwell produces pipes with bamboo shanks. Recently I saw a Danish movie from the sixties and I noticed that one of the characters smoked a beautiful Stanwell Bamboo. They sell for around 120USD. And Steve, maybe you would include 2 good Danish tobacconist on the resource guide. FF Piber, Adelgade 1 DK-8900 Randers, Denmark (my local tobacconist, around 1,000 pipes in stock + hundreds of different tobaccoes + good cigars) Pibesmeden, Hans Broges Gade 3 DK-8000 Aarhus, DENMARK (an expert on 'My Own Blend' tobaccoes, also makes tobaccoes after your individual taste + more than 1,000 pipes in stock) Sincerly, Jesper [ Thanks for the listings, Jesper! Anne Larsen once told me that Denmark is truly the land of pipes and tobacco; is this still true? -S. ] ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U
