I have no connection to Lee VonErck, but I have had 3 of his pipes, and am smoking one regularly still. (I had to sell others to raise capital)

Lee if from Negaunee, Michigan in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. He does excellent work. He akso does repair work if you have a need.

I was just informed the he has updated his site. Here's the link: http://von-erck.com/

If nothing else, look at his pipes, they are unique and beautiful, if nothing else.

Beautiful works of functional art. Sadly out of my price range.

Lee is one of the nicest guys in the world. Met him at a couple pipe shows when I was a pipe smoker. His oil curing process makes for a most unique smoke.
