Cornell & Diehl First Responders Tobacco Review.
My wife and I answered the call for a tobacco review on PipesMagazine.com. Thank you, Kevin for giving us the opportunity and the honor for such a review at such a time!
Also, I salute our soldiers still across seas fighting. Another giant salute to every person who is, or supports emergency personnel. Our First Responders are often overlooked and under-appreciated until we need them. On a day like 9/11, we CANNOT forget.
These are all pipes that I’ve been working on lately and had finished. The last three pipes, the Danmore, Calabash, and the MacDonald’s pipes were all of the set I received in March from the mid 60′s to mid 70′s.
