Anyone remember the old Edwards Pipe shops from the 70s/80s?

[Zeno Marx]

Is there still an Edward's in Richardson, TX? I found some old receipts from when I purchased pipes from their estate mailer monthly catalogs (mentioned this earlier in the thread). My receipts are from 1992 and 1993. I don't have photos, but I remember the pipes well. The prices would make you cry. Anyone have those catalogs? Possible to get them scanned and shared? I'd like to see a couple of those pipes again.

I picked up an Edward's cup and saucer style pipe a few years ago. I've never smoked it and it's been in the refurb box since the day I got it. Maybe I should clean up the old girl.

As I and some other folks here who have smoked their pipes know, once you do that and smoke it, your gonna HAVE to get some more of 'em!!

I used to work for the Atlanta store during that time, as for the old tobacco blends not being around it seems that the stores cannot get tobacco from Tampa anymore, and brother that is sad for me

I worked for the Edward's pipe shop in Atlanta Georgia then please let me know if I can help out with any information concerning their pipes. I suffer from severe PAD for Edward's pipes.

DeBEAR Done It,
Hello people! Back in the late 70's when I started smoking a pipe, I bought my pipes and tobacco in the "Edwards Pipe shop in the North Miami Beach store on 163rd street. I smoked pipes for 5 years, but returned to cigarettes due to job function requirements.
I currently have ten (10) Edwards pipes, most of which were rebited with acrylic stems. ALL smoked absolutly wonderfully. I recently unwrapped them as I intend to return to my pipe smoking, and found that my tobacco jar still has some of my custom Edwards blend in it. It's only forty years old !!! I wonder if they could still identify it to make me some more.

Yes being around 50+ years pipe smoking I remember then. Never owned one and had friends that swore by them.

Edwards is where I bought my first pipes. I still have them somewhere. I mostly smoke Peterson and Boswell pipes now.

When I visited my folks in Jacksonville FL back in the late 70's my Dad bought me a pipe from the Edward's store there. A stacked bent dublin. Worst POS I ever had. Maybe a lemon, but it smoked so hot it would burn my hand. Because of that experience I never bought another.
