Talbert Pipes- Last of the Fundraiser pipes, two rarities, and some pipe blog posts

[Trever Talbert]

Hello all! I write with big news.  Important news for me is that my wife is
recovering from her hip replacement and is 90% recovered from her earlier
cancer surgery, so the Talbert pipemaking workshop is about to be running
at full capacity again.  The other big news is that I've cleaned and
finished refurbishing the last of our fundraiser pipes (just in time for
her last round of medical bills, fingers crossed...), and these are
something special, as two of them are two of the oldest pipes that were
donated.  One is the Twisted Egg, one of the first three pipes I ever made,
and another is the Saruman, the first pipe I ever sold.  Also available is
a complete reworking of what may have been one of the ugliest pipes I ever
made, and there's also a bamboo-shank billiard available again after a
previous sale fell through.  You can see all of these here:

There are a few extras as well - The Twisted Egg has some desktop
wallpapers for download on its catalog page, so the buyer can have his very
own wallpaper of his own pipe.  The Egg and the Saruman both even have
their original signed scroll papers with them, which I'm amazed have stayed
with them all these years.  Also, the work I ended up doing on the Saruman
and the Ugly Pipe inspired a pair of blog posts about them, which might be
of interest for anyone who enjoys reading about pipe repair & recovery.

That's it for the moment but now that our schedules are back to something
like normal, I hope to be back again pretty soon with a fresh batch of
brand new pipes.  Thanks very much for your interest in our work, and also
for your support of our business all through this very difficult past year!
Happy Smoking,
