The story behind how Edward’s somehow managed to buy enough of the last commercially graded Algerian briar and then move it to Florida and make geniune Algerian briar pipes for fifty years after the fall of French Algeria should be written up by somebody.

That particular Edward’s seems to be a homage to a Marxman B or C size Benchmade, almost a “Big Boy”.

Congratulations.

Now smoke the thing until it turns oxblood.:)

I hope it’s okay to add to this thread and say how much I love this pipe, with its wide chamber and great-to-hold paneling. Enjoying it right now with some GL Pease Navigator. Many thanks to @Cloozoe for a terrific purchase!
