Steve,

Thanks for the interesting mess.  Now I got a problem for you.
Two days ago I was using a quality Castello and managed to have
the mouthpiece broken.  I learned from the expensive lesson that one should
never try to pull out the mouthpiece while smoking a pipe.
I am in the process of finding a place to have it repaired.  There
is no repair shop here in Taiwan.  I would like to send it to the US for
repair.  I know both Levin Pipes and Connoisseur Pipe Shop do repair
works but have no idea which one is more reliable.  Would your give me
some advice on this matter, provided that this won't cause too much
trouble for you.  I thank you in advance.

                                            Sean 5/3/91

[ No trouble at all, Sean; always glad to create an interesting mess!
I've never used either Levin or Connoisseur for repairs; the last few
I've had done have been from:

	Pipes Unlimited
	19 Auburn Ave.
	Utica, NY 13501

Stem repairs run about $8.50. Elias uses this shop as well; I've had
quite good results with them. -S. ]
