The story of the Edwards pipe company is fascinating. Starting out in France, they felt they formed a model that would allow them to continue to make money in the tumultuous '70s and '80s. They brought up as much Algerian Briar as possible, then move the whole operation to the United States. We came of this is a line of classic shapes in a consumer friendly price point. Please note that this one has considerable bite marks on the stem, but if you can live with that you're getting a very quality pipe at a good price.

Heritage Pipe Shop specializes in "pipes with a past." Every pipe has lived a unique life and has a story to tell. The wear a pipe has gained in its life is a patina, a story, its own personal history. Therefore, we do not try to return it to "like new" condition. When you buy a pipe from us, you can expect a "refreshed" pipe:

• The pipe has been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, ready to smoke out of the box.
• The bowl has been reamed, but we leave enough cake so that you do not need to break it in again.
• Stems have been cleaned and sanitized, and vulcanite stems have been de-oxidized and polished. 
• Stems may have some teeth marks.
• When needed, stems are replaced (this will be noted in the description). 
• Any repairs made will be noted in the description and/or title.
• The bowl has been cleaned of previous smoking ("ghosting") using the time-tested salt and alcohol method.
• Briar pipes have the char removed from the rim (as possible), and the outside of the pipe has been cleaned, treated with a restoration balm, and buffed with carnauba wax.

Be sure to examine the pictures closely and ask questions before bidding. Thanks for shopping with us!
