Got mine today! Blazing fast shipping. I'm excited to tear into them! Thanks.

[mredmond]

Got mine, too. Thanks, Steve!

Package arrived today. These blocks look great! already square, no decades of grime on the outside and much bigger than I had expected. Even the small sized blocks are more than big enough to make an average pipe. Thank you very much steve!

Ok, I'm going to post a rather noobish question, but bear with me. What's the difference between Cirta and Tassili? Is that the region where it's from?

[Ironpenny]

Cirta and Tasilli are grades of plateaux cut briar used by one particular briar cutter in Algeria - nobody else really uses the grading system. Pipemakers' Emporium resells briar from this cutter. Cirta is the lower grade, and Tasilli is the higher grade.

Note that neither grade will perfectly free from larger pits and splits. There's no guarantee about that. The difference is in the apparent tightness and direction of the grain as visible from the outside of the block, as well as the cut of the block.

I found this when I was asking the same question a couple of weeks ago.

Just got mine and am VERY pleased. Doubled up on my briar inventory thanks to this order. Thanks a lot for taking this on!

[wmolaw]

Just got my briar, and am really jumping for joy! Beautiful stuff, really, really pleased. Thanks, seriously. Is there more left?

[Vermont Freehand]

Glad you all enjoy !!!
There is a few left in the mini, x-large, and jumbo sizes, both grades, but small to large sizes there is an okay amount for now. After the weekend I'll probably be posting which sizes are sold out.

[Ironpenny]

Just got mine in Canada. Sat in customs for a few days, but cleared with no issues eventually.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am not sure what is left at this point but I would like to place an order for 4 large Cirta Ebauchon, 1 large Tassilli Ebacuchon, and 1 Extra large or Medium Cirta Plateau.

[Vermont Freehand]

Hey Gonzo, I'll pm you details.

Thanks

[Gershom]

Man, all I have to say is WOW. This briar looks amazing, and it is bigger than any briar I have had before. I am blown away by how great they all look. Especially the Plateaux. Good job providing some briar. If I ever get through all these, I will definitely buy more from you.

Thanks again!

[Nate]

I'll second that Gershom! Fantastic stuff. Thanks Steve!!

[smokindawg]

Got mine today and am very appreciative......... But I'm not waiting to get thru these to order more, I'm stocking up. These won't last long at the prices and you won't find them ever again at these prices.
