Talbert Pipes Life in France Places Pipes Talbert Our retail shop. We've gradually added to it all through this first year and have come a very long way since the early days when our entire inventory was one small panel of pipes! But, I hope to make it much, much more jam-packed with fun stuff as the years go by. We probably have the largest stock of American corncob pipes in France! They've proven remarkably popular with the local smokers. More pipes on the wall. We try to keep a variety of affordable pipes in stock for all the visitors who've never even heard of a 400 euro pipe. There are some excellent values here, however, and several IMP meers can also be seen. Our main display cabinet showcases our stock of Talbert Briars, Mortas, handmade pens, Tinsky artisan briars, and much more. Eventually I want this case packed to the gills with pipes from US and European artisans. We have another display cabinet for our clays, though we didn't have many in stock at the time this pic was taken. We've done a very good business with the pipes of French artisan Gerard Prungnaud, and you can also see the first small shop display of handmade jewelry in morta on the right. I want the shop to feel more like a smoking lounge than a retail store, and that means that a comfortable corner is essential. Thanks to the very generous gift from a good friend in the US, we now have some dangerously comfy chairs. I've tossed in lots of pipe magazines in both French and English, and we even have a bar of free tobacco!
