Mark Stewart has been making my pipes for me for a few years now and they are all wonderful. He also has a large selection of estate pipes for low $$$$.
This may be true but I placed an order by phone the other day and they were anything but friendly, acted like I was wasting their time.L.J. Perreti's: This place is a classic old-time tobacco shop. Family-owned since forever and expert in all things tobacco. Staggering selection and great custom blends, too. Well worth a vist if you're in Boston anytime -- you can cross the river and hit Colonial Drug right after!

I bought 2 ounces each of 3 blends, Blend No.333, which is the best Burly I have had and is what sparked my order, Oriental No. 40 and a full English that I can't recall the name of at the moment, if the other two are anything like the No. 333 I will be very happy.Hopefully just an off day for that employee. I would love to hear your impressions on their blends if you purchased any. They certainly seem well-regarded on tobacco reviews.
