Talbert Pipes- Pipe & Pint website open!

[Trever Talbert]

Hello everyone!  This is a notice for all the friends of Talbert Pipes  
of a major piece of news - after a long wait, the website for our US  
distributor, Pipe & Pint, is now OPEN!

http://www.thepipeandpint.com/

They've just been open for a couple of days and are still getting  
things in order, but go ahead and have a look around.  The best news  
of all is that they have a nice selection of Talbert Briars, Mortas,  
and Ligne Bretagnes, all available RIGHT NOW.  These are not brand new  
pipes, though - most of them were made between the years of 2006 and  
2008, but they are for all purposes new and unsmoked.  I sent a lot of  
pipes to P&P at that time because they were planning to open their own  
website, but unfortunately their website plans of that period fell  
through and most of the pipes simply ended up sitting in boxes in the  
back room for the past couple of years.  Now they can finally be seen  
and purchased!

In browsing the site, you will notice that many of my pipes don't have  
descriptions other than specs - That's because I'm going to write  
them, as soon as time permits (This will require me borrowing them so  
I can comment on each, and trying to remember any pertinent details or  
stories from when they were made a few years ago).  Still, the photos  
tell most of the important story anyway. FWIW, my two biggest  
recommendations are this one:

(The only smooth grade 5 I've made, and an incredible display of  
unstained bird's-eye)

and this one:

(Just a wonderful, beautifully grained and stained, great big  
practical smoker)

I hope you'll all pop by and join me in celebrating their new site -  
It's been a long time coming, but P&P is finally stepping into the  
internet age.  :D  I hope this will help tide people over until my own  
new website is officially opened.  I'm working in the workshop round  
the clock now making stock for it, and hope to have it open and full  
of goodies in a month, if all goes well.  Once my own site is open  
again, it will be a hand-in-hand thing - Some of our inventory will go  
to P&P, some will go on our own site, while other stock goes to our  
distributors around the world.  2009 was an incredibly difficult year,  
but here's hoping that Talbert Pipes will have a roaring 2010, and I  
wish everyone out there a very happy and prosperous New Year!
