Whenever I have extra money it goes into a special jar. Around January I look through all of my pipes and decide which ones need to find new owners. These are listed on e-bay. As buddy Rich Esserman says, "to me the flip side of buying a new pipe to enjoy is selling another which for whatever reason has fallen out of favor in my rotation". All of the money generated from the sale of these also goes into the ...

This is a fine looking apple, which doesn't carry the Stevenson nomenclature because he had initially carved it for his own use. I was just lucky enough to acquire it.
