This past Friday we had a great turnout, in fact it was the largest turn out for an Austin Pipe Club gathering yet as we had around 20 guys show up. The event in partnership with Heroes and Legacies and the Austin Pipe Club was a trunk show. Heroes brought down their distributor Music City Marketing to do the show and let us look at some amazing pipes made by Briarworks International. There are two lines Neptune and Icarus, and both are within the 100 to 350 range. Aaron Sissom from Music City took time to talk to us about the products and his background in the pipe industry and was a wealth of knowledge. While we had expected to see some other pipes from the vast range of pipes they distribute, seeing the Briarworks pipes was still very cool and a good number of us walked away with a nice pipe.

Additionally Sutliff sent over a new tobacco for the pipe club to try: Loire Valley. This is an aromatic with Raspberry and mango top note with black cavendish.
