Win a Pipe!
Contest over
Dear Friends of the Briar, Old and New,
Thank you for participating in my Holiday Win- A-Pipe Contest.
It has been great fun receiving your many and varied guesses.
One guess of 68.6 grams came within .2 grams of the pipe’s actual weight of 68.4 grams.
Thus, Congratulations to Anders Branje from Vaxjo, Sweden!
Cheers and a good year to All,

Portrait of an Artist
| Artist Michael Morgan of Phillip Island, Australia was the winner of our original Win a Pipe contest. As luck would have it, Michael and I have become great long-distance friends. Here, a portrait of the Artist, and his first letter to this Pipemaker. |
| Dear Andrew Marks,
With sheer delight and well rewarded anticipation, I received the pipe I won in your competiton. This pipe is not only a superb piece of craft, but is a work of art. The briar is wonderful. This pipe is a joy to hold, caress and smoke. It is the "friendliest" pipe in my collection. It is an honour to own this creation. You are indeed to be revered for your sensitivity. You are a master. I thank you for enriching my experience, beyond the joy of just pipe smoking. With your pipe, there seems to be that intangible quality that goes beyond.. Thank you, Andrew Till the next pipe, to be ordered from you- Michael Morgan Phillip Island Australia |
