Picture notes: Not a photographer, I managed to find this "before" pic of Kaywoodie, Lolita and MCH pipes. Unfortunately I can't yet share a pic showing the excellent job of restoring performed by Dave Wolff at Walker Briar Works. Corn Cob Snob Society is a spoof created in response to the briar smoker overlords online. Got it from a brother at www.brothersofbriar.com, of all places!
