Stumbled across this video on YouTube just now. Hadn't seen it posted here yet. The author also has a video about Dunhill.

Yeah, I posted a link to the video a couple of hours after you. I looked in the "General Discussion" section and couldn't see that anyone had started a thread about it but I forgot to check the "Tobacciana History" section
.Oh well, no harm no foul.
Here’s an interesting little interview I recently came across.
Thanks for sharing this. I miss popping into JJ Fox on my way back from work when I was living in London!
This is *GOLD* @simong
Barbic, Weingott, Brumfit! What I wouldn't give to sit and have a chat with this fellow!
Glad to see pipes and cigars being associated in the interview by the wealthy and successful. It heralds continued interest and market.
Shervington was one of the few who could repair meerschaum cases and recover them in new leather. They repaired many of my pipes, fitted silver bands and sold me tobacco. Also I use to frequent Smiths Snuff in Charing Cross Road and Indewicks on Carnaby Street. I think the place in Leaden Hall Market is still around. The young today call it progress.
I wish meerschaum case repair (and manufacturing) would return.
Great find, I'll have to watch when I have some time. It's so tragedy how many wonderful B&Ms have been lost and how many more will be.
